ATC guys, don't forget to tell us where the heap of metal is attacking us from. Remember, if it's a constant angle it doesn't move much in the window, and the imagine only size gets bigger in the latter stages. In addition to this think about the time of day with regard to the sun.

Quick maths for you guys so you can understand the performance type stuff issues...

angle of bank (for a rate one turn) = (TAS/10) + 7

Loading 'G' = 1/Cos (Angle of Bank)

Accelerated Stall speed = Vs (unaccelerated) / (Square root of (Cos Angle of bank))

I hope this of some use, if not I'll crawl back into my hole where I came.... and I hope we never have to use the term in anger!

Thanks for the service guys, you don't get paid enough!
