flipster and bubbers 44
flipster...I learned about the no tailplane stall from bombardier by reading the whole thread ...start at the number one post....it is eye opening. I wouldn't make it up.
bubbers44...attitude! I agree with you and while in cruise flight I always set my flight director ( in my primitive douglas jet) to an attitude that would be safe for virtually any problem...sort of as a cursor to go for if things went to hell.
so, while in cruise on autopilot ( a relativey simple one), I would have a recovery attitude target already set in case things went to hell in a handbasket.
I learned to fly near some significant mountain ranges and learned early on that any plane could LOSE a battle with mountain wave. Level wings and a modest nose up attitude would be safe even if losing altitude due to wave or other problems. (see riding the waves in the AIM...but I know you already know bubbers)
