I've just been reading up on confirmation bias - a phrase used by psychologists to describe someone who wants to believe in what they think is true, even though it isn't.
A Height velocity curve has been devised to indicate the aircrafts flight characteristics when it is 'low' and 'slow'. Some are generous in their dimensions whilst others not nearly so.
The bottom line Nige, is that FOR AN AVERAGE PILOT, his/her reaction times will not prevent the cab from recovering in time to make a safe landing. It doesn't mean a terminal conclusion, but it almost certainly means the a/c will be damaged - severely.
There's a reason why it's colloquially named the "dead man's curve"
If people persist in thinking this is a challenge - something that can be beaten....they are delluding themselves and all those they teach!
