Exactly. Leave putting the prop full forward until short final. Or just teach yourself Red, Blue, Black for go around.

Talk to James Gallagher here on MS. He can steer you the right way and give you a great price. This week I think he is giving 10% off for SnF. But you have to contact him directly.

I have a SensorCon. Search around, they have discount codes floating around.

Wonderful. I am looking forward to attending my first one. The last weekend in Sept tends to be problematic for me, so hoping it does not conflict.

Did you watch last season? Passing is very common now. Not only DRS, but aero changes that allow them to run closer together. Yes, I like MotoGP, and yes, they are crazy for doing what they do on bike. That is why I no longer own a bike. I know I would end up with liter sport bike, and I am too old to rol down the track at 175 MPH after falling off. Just pointing out, cars are faster. Even on the street.

So, it was 5 degrees above the horizon. That is much closer to the horizon that your Mooney would be with the yoke full back. The point is, they did not recognize the stall because they never did one in the airplane and may not have done one in the sim. Under Normal Law, an Airbus WON'T STALL.

I changed the ratio to 2500 in my JPI, and after a couple of short flights, it seems to be off a tiny bit. Maybe 2510 is the key.

Plus trimming and installing them.

F1 and Moto GP have similar acceleration to 100 KPH or 62 MPH. In the range of 2.6 seconds. But to 300 KPH, the F1 car takes significantly less time to get there. Braking the F1 car wins. Current F1 cars can corner and brake at around 5 G. Overall lap times are much quicker with F1. "F1’s cornering speeds hand it a significant advantage, even on tracks with few turns: Valtteri Bottas’s pole time of 1m02.939s in qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix in 2020 far outstripped the 1m23.450s set by MotoGP’s polesitter Maverick Vinales that same year." "Let's compare their performance over a lap at the Austin circuit in 2015: Formula 1 MotoGP Best racing time 1'40''666 2'04''251 Highest racing speed 332,3 km/h 344,2 km/h" So MotoGP does have a higher top speed. But lose in braking and cornering. I am more of an F1 fan, but do enjoy MotoGP.

Uuuh, they did have the artificial horizon. So the point is, if you are IFR, applying full aft stick and the AI shows the nose on the horizon, what are you going to do? The real key was the altitude winding down, but unless you have stalled a swept wing airplane would you be thinking stall???

That is what I do and it makes me happy. One thing, I don't think there is actual sink when retracting the flaps, but a momentary reduction in the climb rate. Like the Vomit Comet mentioned, if you are going up at 700 FPM, and it drops to 650 FPM, you will feel a bit light in the seat

More RPM and Less MP or More MP and Less RPM. Both can lead to the same amount of power

To save a $350 wingtip cover if you forget to turn them off after landing? Priceless.

True, except that motor gliders are gliders. But I can see that fuel systems might be part of a the Engines rating, or Powered Aircraft - Piston or Powered Aircraft - Turbine. More just tossed out some ideas. The idea being, that maybe the time could be shortened by separating the areas into smaller bites. No need to learn turbines if you are going to be at a small field with only piston planes. If you move to a shop with turbines, you spend some time under direction and add on that rating.

I bought my plane last summer. It took 6 months for the registration was changed. AFAIK the old registration is not valid upon the application and issuing the new temp. But would Canada be able to tell that?

One more time, initially they went nose high, once the plane was fully stalled the nose was about on the horizon. Swept wing aircraft to not behave in a stall like straight winged aircraft. And you are assuming the the AI would know what do to in every circumstance. But that assumes the people who programmed it can think of everything. Oh, and yes, the Airbus does that in Normal Law, and this caused the crash at the Paris Airshow as the AI would not allow the pilot to try to eek out an extra 1/10 of a degree of AOA to avoid hitting the ground. Sorry Dave, I cannot let you pull the nose any higher even if doing so means we will hit the ground.

Wow, AI decided that the way it was done was the right way. Which is not news. But, if this had not occurred before, would the AI be able to handle it?

First problem, find a new wife. But then you may not be able to afford and airplane. Tailwheel can be fun. But the big question is, even then, will you fly it?

Start slowly. Fly to some $200 hamburger. Then fly out to somewhere on Sat morning, come back Sunday. Then make it a 3 day weekend, etc. Plan a week vacation flying somewhere. Over Xmas, we did a nice trip to Space Coast. 4 days today. Did the Space Center, GatorLand (actually fun) and got to see a rocket launch. And logged about 11 hours.

That is how it started. But it reached a steady state with full aft stick control. At least from the reports and analysis I have seen.

Not according to the reports and analysis I read. Supposedly there is a button, that when pushed, gives to command to that stick. If it averaged, they would not have crashed. One was full stick aft (in control) and one was full stick forward. Average would have been stick neutral

The captain, once he got to the cockpit, DID know what to do, but it was too late by that time. How was he assisted over what would have happened in a Boeing?

Sort of They were holding attitude and power. But swept wing aircraft do not stall like straight wing aircraft. The nose does not drop, it stays about at the horizon. So, the AI showed level, but the VVI was showing massive down. But level with climb power should have meant increasing airspeed or climbing, and they did not notice that. I still recall doing a full aft stick stall in the T-38. And, the two pilots were making contradictory inputs, but in the Airbus, only one of them has control at the same time. And the sticks are not interconnected, so the one pilot thought he had control, but he did not. And he did not know the other pilot, who did have control, was making the opposite control input.

Since you are winding down, start taking some longer trip. Fly to interesting places. Fly further afield to sample airport restaurants.
