I think it's time Sir Tomahawk (is it the grand return of Compylot?) be ignored for the troll he is. I know he thinks he’s pretty damn funny, but this tread is full of extremely valuable information.
People die because they don’t know what is going on inside their engine, because they’re afraid to lean, because they follow OWTs. I wouldn’t have spent the many many hours I have researching this material if it wasn’t for the wise words of Chuckles, Jaba, etc that I saw a few years ago. Maybe it’ll save my life one day? It’s certainly made me a better pilot and instructor.
So if you’re a troll, kindly go away, and if you’re genuine (50% increase in stall speed with a 30kt tailwind? God help us all if you are genuine) stop talking and listen.
