Question

I seem to remember reading in the 200 POH that the wing loading is 3g. This figure is halved when approach flaps are selected ie. 1.5g wing loading..not a hell of a lot. I know that some people use approach flaps to slow down, but would rather chuck the Dunlops as that doesnt reduce wing load. I remember speaking to an Engineer who worked on the USA Embassy 200s that float around Africa (Rovers or Rangers think their callsign) and he told me that the embassy a/c had 1900 wing spars in them for this reason and of course a lot of them have the tip tanks.....
Its a wonderful bread and butter a/c as they say..you got one on your licence you'll always have somthing to eat.

Putco you tart how many times do you want to bang your head with those goddang toasties.....poopscoop!
Hope your keeping my seat cleen for me...
