sasless is writing the same words that i say to pilots, that in a real emergency situation life it is better to have too much rpm that too little.
coyote, no ones having a go at you, we are just expressing opinions as you said yourself. nobody said to have massive overspeeds, all that has been said is that it is better to be a bit high than to be obsessed with limits when the situation is not looking good.
pilot to boss; yes boss i wrecked the machine but i made sure the rpm was in the green, i was adjusting it as i went in.
sasless has been around a long time and i am sure it is because he is a very practical pilot and not a pedantic, the same as i try to be and i think we will be around a lot longer because of that fact.
