Perspective you are absolutely correct. I'd have said 66% are 'unreported' if the subsequent emergency turns out satisfactorily and there's no public reporting. It's what is supporting the used market.

Kharon The forced landing was really well done. As it was a J170 - 60KIAS is about right for the final approach as it wasn't clear how much flap had been deployed. It looked a rather 'flat' final as they just cleared that shed - so maybe they only had half or less. Whatever - it worked on the day.

With the J160, speeds are usually up by 5 kts on the 170. Depending on weight at the time 65-70 will work fine. More often than not - the trim will be fully used to hold the attitude so it's more pilot effort to fly them any slower....probably a fair safety feature.

happy days,
