To fly or not to fly?
Question for the professional pilots.. I have 'had control' a few times , but I'm no pilot, in the same manner that I'm using a keyboard but i'm not a writer.
So I accept the offer of a jolly with a mate of mine who's got a tail-dragger of some vintage. He is fairly light on hours.
The flight is uneventful, apart from a stiff crosswind on takeoff that see's us leave the runway stage left when the tail comes up, thankfully we're in the air.
On returning to the airfield we turn off the bottom of the down wind leg to land, and half way through the turn, the stall warning goes off - Its a hooter.
We land no probs.
Ok, he say's it's normal. I accept that in the course of landing, at some point the speed must drop below that required for flight, but have the nagging feeling he was caught out, but wouldn't admit it.
Thoughts?
