SAS - sorry bud but its not going to be that easy!!
Peter Gillies
STATEMENT - stated that the unrecoverable NR happens at a certain value from nominal.
MOTIVATION - to help pilots realise just how little time available and the best source of energy to recover - the flare. He hopes this might save someone's life.
Test Pilots
STATEMENT - The Test pilots pop up to discredit Peters claim and state that almost twice as much time is available and back up this claim with lots of data. Read JDs post again. It specifically states Peter is wrong!
MOTIVATION
?????
This has noting to do with EC or SK. Its about misinformation.
DB
PS - I respect the work that the Test Pilots do but maybe their world should never be fully visible to us in Industry. The bit we need is in the RFM. What bothered me most about the posts was the motivation behind them!! The could have said "Hey we tests pilots fully agree with Peter. Time is short so get the lever down and flare if you can to get your NR back. Its nasty at the bottom of the NR envelope"......but they did not say this SAS did they!!
