Afternoon chaps,
Well since this thread seems to have run it's course, here is a question from a lowly PPL on jet transport category aircraft handling.....
Looking at the report it is clear that some mighty large control inputs were made (kind of like a kay-san I witnessed from the flight deck of a C130 one time.....Ho hum!!)
Anyway, one technique I was taught for short field/emergency landings was the forward slip and jolly fun it was too practising whilst cicuit bashing in the good ol' 152, so my question is; is it possible/desireable to forward slip an aircraft of this category? If so, would this be preferable to loose the required height rather than the large (and impressive!?!) pitch inputs evident from the report?
(P.S. Before anyone mentions it, the aircraft should not have been in that position in the first place I know I know I know)
