Flight Deck, yes you're quite right about no reverse on a C152, that's why I put it in brackets!! For those of us who fly with reverse, I mentioned it.
The original question relates to a 'worst case'. You have a touching faith in the manufacturer if you expect the POH to cover every eventuality, and the original post raises an interesting issue.
I would have thought that bush flying should teach you to expect the unexpected and be prepared for it.
You are right to agree that using additional flap is clearly wrong, and shows a poor understanding of the facts behind how energy is dissipated duting an RTO or landing.
The superior pilot uses his superior knowledge to avoid putting his superior skills to the test... Are you a superior pilot?
