Ahhhh we are back at that mantra about following the POH I see.
Have you read what has been said in this thread and missed the fact that I and most of the others who do not increase RPM until the power is at or below zero thrust just prior to the landing have said?
We point out that one should follow the POH recommendations and also use common sense with regards to when to increase RPM during an approach for landing.
Would you be kind enough to tell me if you think that a student learning to fly or a licensed pilot does not have the neurons to be able to understand a simple concept such as going down hill requires one to reduce power and if you want to go up hill you must increase power?
Are pilots dumber than people who drive cars and have no problem driving a standard shift car without an automatic transmission?
