Step Turn
I presume it was the thread on the 182 takeoff which prompted this post
I kept out of that until there was a posting regarding there being no downside to letting the aircraft fly when it wanted too!
Yes in calm conditions with maybe the 182 that may be a safe technique although contrary to the POH
What prompted my post was a concern that pilots may use that technique for other aircraft or worse in conditions where a down draught at too slow a speed could be dangerous!
Please don't take that discussion as anything more than that ! A discussion to talk around the possible downsides of that technique
As I stated in the thread the old slab wing PA32 with a big beefy engine and torque would fly off too early at 62 KTS instead of its POH figure of 80 KTS with potentially disastrous results
I felt those clarifications needed to be added so hope no offence taken
