how can someone who claims our's as a profession even let the shaker get on in the first place????????
the shaker should only come on during the ground test, at the gate (when selected).
I agree, shoot, even then it's kind of scary.
Now after saying that, in my check ride in the 727, which was given by the FAA, when I say the FAA I mean the real FAA, the guy in the right seat was FAA, the FE was FAA and the examiner was FAA, I had to take the dirty stall to the stick shaker.
Let me tell you, the split second I felt the yoke start to vibrate, I went to full power and flew that sucker out of the shaker envelope. Managed not to lose a foot of altitude either.
I did okay, but I sure didn't like it.
