Forgive me, I have only been flying for 30 years and nearly 20 on the NG, but all my departures in this period have been about raising the landing gear, accelerate and retract the flaps before I head off for far away places.
It has never been about flying at 150 kts in a «speed stable» condition.
I admit I don’t know how far towards a stall the STS will bring the aircraft, but with the amount of back pressure it creates, I think it will get pretty close before anything happens. If it tries to trim the aircraft back to the «stable speed» of 150 kts in clean config, things will get interesting.
By the way, which aircraft type do you fly, Bloggs?
