Bobcat4 . . . "I'm still curious about Safta's findings. Is it really non-recoverable when fully back-trimed? Anyone tried this in the sim (737NG)?
Safta had mentioned in his post that he had waited
eight (8) seconds of stick shaking before initiating a recovery in a 737 classic simulator. This is impractical reality. In real life no pilot in his right mind will listen to and feel the stick shaker rattle for 8 seconds before taking action. 8 seconds is a loooooong time! A stick shaker event is an emergency, it's an aural and physical warning system between your legs and the reaction time is no more than 2 seconds at worst. Also, be mindful that no simulator has true airplane fidelity.
