I've got about 8,000 P1 on the 146 (albiet long ago), I recall we were restricted to FL260 due to the icing rollback issue on the ALF 502's fwiw. Low fuel was a tricky situation to deal with, especially if Holding (with turns always in one direction) fuel would tip from the higher to the lower wing tanks due to an always open high level weir, the type's anherdral added to the imbalance which had to be managed via cross feeding.
It is incredible that people claiming such high experience - as a captain! - can totally misunderstand the physics of flight so badly.
Does the contributor honestly believe this nonsense, or are they just trying for a cheap laugh?
Did he ever try to explain to Bob Hoover that the video of him pouring the iced tea was impossible, and we were unwitting victims of a cruel hoax? Unbelievable!
