I think you nailed it. Pace wants to trade energy for AS but not pay up after the bargain is struck. Energy lost is time on the Planet in dire straits. No Piston Twin I am aware of is anything but borrowed time on 1. My God I hate the Horn. ETOPS they ain't. The Polar has a temptress, and if one isn't careful, it can seem that the slower one flies, the more Lift one has at their disposal. Following that logic, Maximum Lift is derived while waiting to Taxi out. No Free Lunch? Come to think of it, maybe I'm thinking of Angels60 and his urge to rotate prior to Vmc. Which I think is what's called an oxymoron. Or was it Rotate prior to Vmc and reject at V1+1? Or is Pace suggesting a "zoom" descent?
