Understand the above, though it's probably more the instantaneous vs. sustained manoeuver cpabaility in the vertical I'm intersted in - I'm certainly aware that pulling to the light buffet ( or on some types a tgt AOA) will certainly give you best instantaneous rate but I know that it's probable/possible on many types you'll end up bleeding energy off holding the said buffet ....now if you are "energy rich" at the start of the manoeuver I guess that's OK but if entering low on energy to start with on a Hunter is it a sensible thing to knowingly do? I haven't done low level aeros so I'll throw that one open to the team.
Anyhow I'll go and have another look at the Appendix.
