Why is a pilot more worried about overspeed than stall? (I am going out on a limb, presuming more than a problem with body sense of speed.
Is that due to high speed buffet/stall at the fast end of the "coffin corner" triangle's legs being a severe event (and potential damage to airframe?)
I am at sea on this one.
Can someone who flies heavies explain this? There may be more to what the PF was worried about, in re high speeds, based on the conventional wisdom of that specific detail of the occupation.
Is FOQA (worry about being written up for an overspeed) a contributor to bias in this regard?
Think about this, and about how rules influence people: "You must not overspeed because ... (____ fill in the blanks for reasons not to overspeed)"
Davies: "If you have a choice between stall and somehthing else, try something else."
Was PF predisposed to be worried about overspeed?
