Mach Number on Stall- Speed

FDR: " Little boys in the pointy end"-? Ouch. Spoiled an otherwise valuable post.

I am unaware of any heavy-jet transports falling out of the sky from coffin corner because the little boys in the pointy end didn't know what to do.

Most of us are bright enough, educated enough, trained enough to face any uncomfortable situation with a simple-"I'm outa here !".

I also, as a real little boy, enjoying a black & white movie about tests flying or space-re-entrystuff where the pilot, entering a dive, speed increasing, instead of ejecting as ordered, pushed the nose forward. "No,no" me & my mates yelled but were silenced as the speed dropped and Hollywood ace saved the aircraft and the day.

Of the six of us, three wound up Senior Commanders of very heavy transport jets.
