acronut Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 I was in a Falcon 50 yesterday and going into Morristown. It was the other pilots leg and he always slows to VREF wayyyy early on final. There we were doing aboout 115kts on a 3 mile final. There was a long body Mooney entering the downwind. I'm sure it made his day when the controller said "Mooney ***** slow to follow the Falcon Jet". Lol I looked at the other pilot laughed my butt off and said "told ya you slow this thing down too soon!" Figured the pilot might be on this site and enjoy the other cockpit conversation.

Earl Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Gotta love that. Of course, it sounds like if the Mooney driver was left to his own devices he probably would have floated half way down the runway with that excess speed.....not that I've ever done that....well maybe not too many times.
