I've just read a new flight test in Pilot of the RANS S-7 Raven:
Flight Test: RANS S-20 Raven - Flight Tests - Pilot
A very impressive review, except for one bizarre comment:
Of course you could come in slower (the timehonoured formula of Vs1 x 1.3 gives a Vref of only 38kt) but I’d advise against that. It will only end in tears. If the strip is so short you need to come in that slow, do you really need to land there?
I thought it so odd, that I signed up to post a comment, asking them to expand.
Following that, I started reading other reviews, starting with aircraft I have flown. First the Bulldog (
Flight Test: Scottish Aviation Bulldog - Flight Tests - Pilot), where I came across this odd, highly unlikely statement:
You can go into almost any of the hundreds of flying clubs dotted around the UK
Is this just wishful thinking or poor editing?
