Dear all
I have deleted a couple of posts which were specific to CLRDRVR because they were a bit personal - I got irritated that he didnt seem to understand what the thrust of this thread is and has accused me of being a test pilot when, in fact, I'm advocating doing things exactly in accordance with the AFM. But there's no need for me to actually be rude which I was so its withdrawn.
However,
read your post 166
yes I do
I am final segment and max continuous. I don't have those charts at home but they are in the AFM because I am time limited to 5 mins at max thrust on one and Bombardier allow for an intermediate level off then a further climb to 1500 feet. I have looked at these charts before and actually forms part of why what I'm saying is correct. Thats how I know I am above the gradient. I didnt need the 1500 foot acceleration platform to get to V2+20 and raise the flap.
now, three things..
what profile do you fly?
what is the regulation?
how about we go through this with a professional for a grand?
