CRAB - Despite 15,500 hours I can confirm that I have either never heard of a "Double Angle" approach OR I was asleep during that lesson OR I am suffering from Dementia. I did my Army Pilots course in 1986 so maybe we called it something different then.
H500 - When I was doing quickstops in the Army (I never rose to the dizzy heights of QHI unfortunatley) I seem to remember being far more concerned with the jaunty angle of my fancy new flying helmet and the smart cut of my olive green flight suit replete with "Dinghy Stabbing" knife than being in the the "Dead Mans Curve".
You see, I am became a pilot to have more sex, a big watch and in time...a moustache like a privot hedge. None of this actually happened despite some considerable effort on my part!!!
Somewhere along the way I sort of accidently became a "Proffessional Aviator", Instructor, Examiner and eventually a Regulator which of course anybody in this business knows only happens when we fail to either - have more sex, get a big watch or indeed develop a moustache like a privot hedge.
Now I find myself on PPRUNE trying to comnvince myself (and a hand full of others) that my life was actually worth living by scribbling garbage down in a vain attempt to prove that I actually "Learned" something along the way.
Then BAM!! you pop up with your "Double Angle Approach" and burst my bubble like the big boy in the playground with acne and a good looking sister who stabbed my football with a penknife just because I had no real pubic hair to write home about!!
MISTERBONKERS - I love your single minded view of risk and the simplicity with which you describe PC3+Exposure and maybe yesterday (before H500 stabbed my ball) I would have rattled on for ages about reliability programmes, OEM OEI statistical data, drank a few whiskies and retired to my scratcher happy in the knowledge that I "Showed Them".
But alas I think I am getting old and a little bit tired and I find myself wanting now to be "Liked" rather than "Feared" and am a little ashamed to admit that I started My Movember "MO" on the 1st, looked in the mirror on the 4th and promptly despatched the straggly spider pubes down the sink plughole and with it my last longing dream of that "Privot Hedge"!!
But boy the memories of my first Army Flying helmet with its "Double Angle" visor and my Olive green growbag + knife with it "Constant Attitude" zip will keep me warm and fuzzy as I gently slide into the confusion of realising that I probabaly have not really learned much at all!!
