I took a mate in the sim who with the benefit of 500 hours constantly told me how easy my job is. He came very unstuck at FL410 M.86 just doing straight and level. A turn had me in hysterical laughter. He was very surprised at a demo of the difference between high speed stall and mach buffet, and how close they can be and how alike they feel.

But a Vulcan at m.84 and FL410, that earns large respect!

As I'm a mere PPL holder and this is the private flying forum I feel free to ask such a basic question!

Could you elaborate on that a little bit? I assume the tricky part you're referring to is juggling banking and holding attitude?
