should be no surprises as to what it can and cannot do
Off thread. Recall a airforce historic flight that had a fighter the airforce had operated many, many years previously which had a flameout at an airshow. Skillful force landing with no damage onto runway. Not having previous experience on type pilot had studied all the material available but was missing one piece of info which had been passed to all students on course "Dont ever, ever do XXXXXX because you'll flameout". Unfortunately it was a trait not documented. (What the XXX was exactly I dont recall exactly but had something to do with throttle handling in a certain flight regime I think).
