Vilters
I put AOA just to remind that all this talk of speed while very relevant even to us " Bigger Boys" is not really the vital picture its AOA and while I appreciate little aeroplanes don't usually have a gauge to reflect that knowing your aeroplane and feel does come into it so think decreasing or maintaining AOA through whatever change in configuration you make should be instinctive.
Relying on numbers while vital sometimes is not enough. its good practice to fly with the airspeed covered even to practice a forced landing that way. You can do it by feel and knowing your aeroplane
thats the only point I was trying to make very important is the phrase "energy management" and that seems little taught or thought of
How is Belgium today) I fly to your country most weeks )
