There is a thread running on Tech Log that involves a discussion about the merits of speed versus height. I can’t believe what I am reading.
It appears some pilots seem to think that if the situation is critical then clawing for height is the way to go. This is not so. Speed is the thing that keeps the aeroplane flying not height. Shave the roofs of buildings and go through the tops of trees but keep her flying until you feel safe.
Before I became an airline pilot I was a crop duster. Ask any crop duster how he keeps his heavily laden aircraft in the air. He will tell you SPEED. Height does not come into it.
