Nick,
Can you explain to me what happened the other day when I was demonstrating the INCIPIENT stage of VRS following this setup:
ROD 300 ft/min
IAS <20kts
near flat pitch then,
without changing any other parameter, near full MCP application within about 2 secs, which resulted over a very short period of time a ROD going beyond 1,500 ft/min at which time I did what have been doing for the last 35 years that is applied recovery techniques, which thankfully as usual, worked.
