Horatio,

Fair call, but I was talking about spiralling in from 50ft after screwing your phase one's up at 75 knots! Better pilots than any of us have done it. And yes I was aware that Vmca is predicated on FULL POWER

I would prefer to be in an aircraft that is definitely going UP or DOWN. If the fan fails in the van, you're going DOWN and slowly. If a fan fails in a conquest, metro or kingair, you're STILL going UP. Unlike the light piston twins where you're not really sure. Hot day, full load in a chieftan? no thanks.


Bushy,

You're right, I can't handle twins, so I guess I'll never have the dubious pleasure of having you as a backseat driver. Seriously
