flight safety again. Can't say I'm shocked.
Dont forget, I'm not saying you necessarily need to hold V2+10 - thats a noise abatement issue and until we routinely de-rate its totally impractical. What I'm suggesting is that we should select flaps up as soon as we can. If you made the configuration change as soon as you're allowed to I suspect you'd hardly feel it whereas if you make it when you're considerably faster the pitch change is much greater which contributes to the feeling of sinking etc..

I'm going to see if I can find a Cessna manual for the soverign and see what it actually says rather than one thats caught a nasty FSI
