Aerobatic Flyer
I made the following comment ….
“Even relatively light aeroplanes take thousands, rather than hundreds of feet.”
And I didn’t edit it out, you must have been p*ssed when you read the post
“Which ones, and how many thousands?”
The only POH I have to hand is for a Bulldog….
“350 ft per turn should be used for the calculation of the height at which recovery is to be initiated and a further 1000 ft included to allow for additional height that might be lost during the pull out recovery when the spin has stopped.”
So three turns and a pull out should be planned for 1950ft – which I believe is in the order of magnitude of thousands rather than hundreds.
I imagine that a flight training organisation would plan per the POH, even though experienced aerobatic pilots could probably achieve far less height loss.
