I had my 182 I needed 450 feet to

I thought we are talking abour SR20. I flew a lot of 182RG...but it is
not a SR20. You are right on 182 but the one crashed is not your 182.


From many test report, SR20 is even worse than SR22 on the aloaf. Our
CSI (Cirrus Standardized Instructor) experienced several wing drop
events during stall practices in a Cirrus during past few years. This
plane is not as stable as your 182 at very low speed.

Like many other posts, we have to respect each type and model that has
their own charecterestic and envolope. Yeh, 182 and many other planes
including gliders can adjust its own pitch to adapt power
change...quickly and in almost all kind of pitch and power
combinations. But it may not be the case for some other airplanes (in
certain pitch and power combination). One example I can make is that a
short-wing aerobatic aircraft such as Sukhoi 26 in a high-pitch
low-speed climb out and then pull the power off, what will happend?
Yeh the nose will drop dramatically, but will it remain stable without
any control input? will it remaining its climb out speed when it start
to dive? (again, no control input is allowed in your case). I don't
think so.



Assuming you have the S-26 trimmed for a given speed when the power is
pulled at some point it will stabilize at the speed it was trimed for. There
is one exception to this rule. The ground must not get in the way first.
Should that happen all aircraft have an auto-trim function.
