"Generally"?, "most certainly"?, I'd say "in one case". The other way
around is correct. That is "if you are in the area of reverse command,
you are dragging it in". Notwithstanding that the phrase includes the
notion of approaching and/or landing. The coffin corner is also not on
the back side of the power curve. It is at the asymptote and you can
never get into the back side. That's why it a corner. It is certainly
not referred to as "dragging it in" there. Been there with the best
test pilots in the world in a 747-400 while I was testing the 400. No
one has ever referred to is as that.

You're kidding right?

I believe you are repeating wht I have said. I said that "dragging it
in" generally refers to flying the approach in the area of reverse
command or if you will behind the power curve.


Well, it;s not a tech term, is it? It's slang. This is turning into the
three blind guys and the elephant thing.. I still don't even like doing
stabilised apprlaches in single at all. I see them as tanatmount to
dragging it in and of course, if there;s nowhere to land on the approach,
an engine failure will result in the smae result on either..
