Pulling the c/b on the SAS illegal, who are the geniuses that invent this type of training, this airframe requires the SAS system for a reason, what a waste of life.
Folks,
As recently as 18 months ago, Australian CASA Flying Operations Inspectors (FOI) were demanding pulling the SA Cb on SA 227 and pulling the aircraft into a full stall ----- despite the certification prohibitions --- clearly spelled out in the AFM, and placards.
The ability to put a Metro II/III/23 into a deep stall was rejected by said FOIs.
Fortunately, in this case, the company head of C&T had far more experience and knowledge than said CASA employees, and refused, subsequently a strongly worded letter from the Type Certificate holder reduced said FOIs desired to commit pre-planned suicide due lack of knowledge of the aircraft characteristics.
Tootle pip!!
