Doing It - Inverted
Doing It - Inverted
During a quiet moment recently I was shooting the breeze with a student and up came the topic about inverted flying. He then claimed that he could fly the sim acurately,...inverted to which I decided a wager was called for. A slab of Victorias' finest ale.
Ok, so he did a sector 1 entry, 2 times round the pattern, then an NDB letdown to minimums,.....all within tolerance................INVERTED. I would not have believed it if I hadnt seen it with my own eyes.
Welll I;m off to the bottlo to buy his winnings.
P.s.....double or nothing.......inverted ILS huh??

double or nothing, make him earn his corn (or beer)......find him something that can stay inverted that long and do it for real!
If not do it with some rolls to spice it a bit!

I can't see that it would be difficult when flying on a sim. Different in real life. It's just like when I fly my RC chopper "inwards" as in towards me; it's just reversed.

In my former days as a FSI instructor, used to do it all the time in the Saab 2000 sim, take off, roll inverted and climb away at 4000 fpm, great fun and makes for interesting approaches....nothing new, by the way the 650 sim at San Antonio does great loops and barrel rolls without falling off motion.

flaps extended or retracted will still be the same, at least..
i think there might have to be a 'gear extend' call and then a 'gear down' call?
as in, gear extended, and then roll wings level (as in the blue bit of the AH being at the top), gears down call. :P
