a recent flight test certification seminar

drat ... I thought that was on at the end of April .. intended to go as I haven't been to one for a few years .. maybe next time around.


People seem to latch on to just one part of cert reqts applicable at one point in time

Hence our oft-exhorted story here that the TCDS design standard makeup needs to be reviewed as a matter of course.

Worse is the situation where a person in authority latches onto a design standard requirement where there exist multiple options .. and then decides that the one which applies is the one which appeals .. regardless of the fact that the OEM chose an option incompatibly different in handling considerations. Has caused me heartache in the past ..


the way to recover from a "dropped wing" stall is to apply full rudder

First time I observed this technique was shortly prior to first solo. The instructor put in a bootful of top rudder and within the space of an eye blink, I was observing the ground through the top of the windscreen.

Not a good general technique unless the POH indicates, specifically, that it might be required.
