Here's an experiment for you. On final, power off, nose up, and stall the aircraft. Keep the control column fully back. Walk it down with the rudder - called the "falling leaf". Your VSI will indicate around -2000 fpm. Continue it until touchdown on the runway. Call the TSB, because you will have wrecked your aircraft - and probably broken your spine - with a real full-stall landing.
You can do this in any airplane?
