LF may be a wind up merchant but he is very good.

Smoked your pomposity out didn't he?;)

LF,

Lucky you. However, your style goes against the typical modest grain of a self-respecting fighter pilot, I must say.

You must be lonely up on that pedestal you've built for yourself. But you probably have a mirror to keep you company.


Vim

JW411,

Let me have a guess:

a) Apply full anti-spin rudder, centering the ailerons and moving the stick slightly forward of central and allow adequate time for the controls to take effect.

b) If rotation does not stop after maintaining this action for at least two turns, application of up to 1/4 in-spin aileron should assist recovery, but there is a risk that this will induce a continuing roll and may mask recognition of recovery.

c) When rotation ceases centralise all controls. Check that IAS is building up rapidly and ease the a/c out of the dive.


Best not to assume anything JW, most pilots know that.

Just in time to spit the hook out, thanks! Walking away from the light...

I have to admit I agree with Vim, although his wise words are far more eloquent than mine will ever be.

Also my suspicions with regards to (the majority of) BA pilots have been confirmed by reading some of the posts. :yuk:

I think I shall be approaching my colleagues with a new lease of love tomorrow!

Blu

If you can't spot a wind up merchant Blu2 then it's definately best you don't work for BA. Keep your stereotypes to yourself thank you.

Forgot to check the power setting - you've probably now exceeded Vne:E

I let it run for a few days, but clearly this topic has outlived its usefulness on this forum.
