Vmu;
i will make a public apology for as figaro described as "picking on you" if that is how you took it.
the thread started as a question about "on the step" and it's validity. your response went into another area of how you were embarrassed by those captains who used the term and that it indicated their ignorance of performance.
my response merely aimmed to point out that implying that your captain is stupid for using a terminology that may not be so precise yet does indeed describe a valid description of curves and lines and actual experience in the aircraft, could be dangerous in the aircraft. he may actually have a large amount of experiential knowledge about performance without having the terms used in books.
and as figaro pointed out, accepting everything he or she does or says can be just a dangerous.
so i hope you accept my apology.
and to quid, at least i made a small contribution to your thread earning that much coveted flaming folder.
cheers;
