Exactly.......it's professional pilots knowing their aircraft.

Professional can be an RAA pilot, professional by attitude and practice, or an airline or ADF pilot.

Joker89. You are a clever guy, the Cessna does not have 180 knots unless it's wings are peeled off, but it is all about a set of tested numbers, minima if you like. Think about ts for any of your aeroplanes, at a given height/speed or above it's a go, less and you are anywhere from the turn back to +/- 30.

KNOW YOUR AEROPLANE..... IF YOU DO NOT, YOUR OPTIOS ARE LESS.

CSD...... I think you know the story.

Plenty more where that came from.


I am glad that the last three posts, while debating this topic properly are now all agreeing with my favorite saying.....KNOW YOUR AEROPLANE, otherwise you are limited to the limited training stuff.

I am not saying this to boost a cyber ego.....it is what I learned through finding my own training was lacking this stuff, just like engine management you get toughs zip, I just ope it inspires others to wake up and take a professional approach to their GA flying. Because if you don't do it, nobody will do it for you, so long as you meet the MINIMUM grade you pass.
