TC - 'religious fundamentalist'

.... sure I understand the principal.

But has it ever been of use?

How many examples of an engine failing in this narrow time window have there ever been?

Can you name an example?

Any?

How many up****s have there been as a result of this dogmatic approach? (probably several!)

In fact there's one in a 355 on the AIDS data base where the tail rotor failure would (IMHO) not have been a problem if they had speed. - There are many ways to skin a CAT. To deliberately prolong such an energy inefficient state of flight - in the process exposing the A/C to other vunerabilities - on the off-chance that a favorable theoretical chain of events might occur is obviously mad.

TC: there are millions people who believe that banging their head against a wall till it bleeds has religious merit. - very difficult to change their minds, they do it because they were raised that way (i guess) - you're not one of those are you?
