FullyFlapped,
It might have been quicker if you had sent it to the flight test department but it will probably get there after much of the "hey did you see what this idiot has done" internal emails.
So what test pilot training scheme have you graduated from?
Your test cards must make up an impressive attachment to the email you sent.
Your analysis of the results and the in depth report recomending the increase in maximum demonstrated crosswind component will no doubt make waves at Cessna.
You will obvously also be able to justify yourself to the CAA test flight department who have also test flown the aircraft before acceptance onto the register and who will probably say......let's stick with what has been safe and efficient for the last 50 years.
Waiting for the Avweb joke....did you hear about the guy who did some home testing of a production aircraft.
I have been involved with an aircraft and test flight. One type in current production was tested to the mid 20Kts crosswind. However, the limit that was agreed for the flight manual was 15Kt. Why?......because the flight manual is and must always be for the average pilot with average skill.
