Hi Drool69

"This email was circulated today by the HKA training manager:

Hi Guys,

I noticed the norm during PCs with V1 cut, the procedure of BUG UP for flap clean up does not correspond well with CAD170 requirement of -0 to +200ft allowance in maintaining acceleration altitude while cleaning up the aircraft. I believe those following the standard practise would have failed this section in their PCs. The FD gives a target for acceleration with a slight climb. Almost everyone bust the altitude by 400 to 500 feet during the cleanup.

Recommendation for our PCs only:

In tricking the FD I would suggest using FPV and after BUG UP fly the FPV level with the horizon in order to maintain within the 200ft allowance but do not descend below the acceleration altitude. Once cleaned up, and after selection of LVL CHG, MCT etc, then follow the FD for climb."



Is this the same Training Manager 'RS' who's gone in the hide-out after Wuzy's episode at the Stars ??

Good luck! Happy landings hopefully..
