The 240 knots speed is Indicated speed, right?, not ground Speed, I have been as fast as 237 knots in ground speed in my Rocket.

 

It was shilling reading the full report, as a Rocket Owner, I know how damn fast this plane goes, and that is why I always start my power reduction several minutes before starting my descent, if not it is really easy to be in the yellow arc and even tugged against the VNE without much effort.

 

Most of the time in cruise I'm very close to the yellow arc as you can see on the picture below, this is going with a 70% engine power setting, if I dial it down to 65%, then I'm about 5 knots or a bit more from the yellow arc...

 

I think getting more transition training time and maybe an IR rating would have potentially helped save this pilot's life, something I'm doing now..

Your Rocket wing has no clue what the GS readout says in the Cockpit.

You Rocket drivers an your speed reports make me sick…lol.

That is a most interesting quote you have captured from Houman…

He loved his Rocket.

Unfortunately, Houman is unable to respond…. we won’t learn anything from the Go-around accident he had….  The accident occurred upon returning home from a long trip… back in  Canada.

RIP Houman… 

Best regards,

It would be hard to know unless you were reading the all old threads which of course no one does.  Don't worry.  You didn't say anything out of sorts.
