Cap 56
Pan Pan Pan
Just when I thought we had all sent cg/CG back to longitudinal now we have Cap 56 trying to slip that interloper back in to steady state directional stab.
Heaven to Betsy
Forgotten now how we managed to get rid of it. I think it was with a few simple inspirational statements such as
"You cannot resolve weight acting through the cg/CG through 90 degrees to the horizontal."
and perhaps
"The only time that mass or weight or cg/CG comes into consideration in the horizontal is when we have acceleration.
But would you mind telling us why you think the rudder yaws an aircraft in steady flight around the CG and perhaps what is the alternative point of rotation?
Oh and by the way did you note the references to the so called slip indicator on Concord on page 1 of the thread?
Any comments particularly if you were/are a Concord pilot.
Just saw the post from ft and you can tell he now has similar pronouncements as above.
