He was actually the owner of the flight school with lots of instructors. He was showing me how to perform the maneuver and blew right past VNE. He said he was surprised at how slippery the Mooney was. One of the benefits of a Mooney CFI. I did mine at a MAPA PPP [my second one]--they're the best! Amazing the things you see, hear, do and learn when you go to one. 1 Quote

Those are the only two prerequisites for the maneuver, so then all that's left is to hit the right spot. I've got geometry, pitch, flaps, slips, and speed brakes to help me hit it. That's plenty of tools so no need to complicate things with the gear. At least that's what I'm practicing and it seems to be working out pretty well. Thanks! I'll try that next time I have decent temperatures and ceilings. So, maybe mid-April. 1 Quote
skykrawler Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 All the maneuvers are described in FAA-H-8083-3B "The Airplane Flying Handbook." This is one of the references that all the written test questions derive from. It's inexpensive and you can also download PDF from the FAA website for FREE. 1 Quote

I thought the written test was not difficult. I did use Sheppard to prep for it. Quote
