Cool

SPS/Randy_G:

I agree with you completely, settling with power is not the correct term for VRS (Power Settling).

A classic example of Settling with power is the young hotdog trying to impress his onlookers and starting a return to target into wind! The resultant course reversal into a downwind return sets you up for a classic settling with power situation. Too heavy for the ambient conditions without enough power to recover.

Cheers, OffshoreIgor
