Hm, well, the Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators" was a bit over my head at
the time and the instrument flying one was a bit confusing with the pics
of giants holding up the wings of Wildcats!

I read through it for the first time (prior I had picked my way
through) while watching the NFC and AFC playoffs this Sunday. It was
the perfect 10 minutes at a time read -- more than that and it was
just too much info to process.

Most was a review of things I had read elsewhere, but written in a
much more succinct and authoritative manner.

The landing performance section confirmed earlier posts about arriving
at the runway with minimal energy -- 1.3-1.5 Vso.

Seems as if this rule would be doubly critical to conventional gear.


Well, yeah, becase you generaly three point them anyway, arriving with any
more than that just extends your flare. It's not what I'd call critical,
more pointless.
