Minor point. In aircraft engineering, you can interpolate but never
extrapolate, as the saying goes. IOW, given two data points, it's
acceptable to find a third in the middle someplace (interpolation), but
never go beyond or outside the graph numbers (extrapolation). You should
not make any predictions about what's out there. That's test pilot area.

Wouldn't a more exact definition be that the "region of reversed

One can "drag in" and airplane and not meet all the aforementioned
conditions.
The usefulness of this condition is apparent in short field
landings.

What I think he's saying Dan is that you can drag it in and plop it
down
if you do it right and don't screw it up, but it's not the best
procedure and can get you into trouble real fast.
It's not necessary to fly a behind the curve approach into a short
field. In fact, the accepted procedure for short field is nowhere near
back side.

So when flying 1.3 Vso is the airplane in or not in the region of
reversed command?

At 67 KIAS in an A36 on final any increase in pitch results in a
descent.

I agree you have to be on top of things in this PAC, but a short field
landing is considered a maximum performance maneuver, and 1.3 Vso is
the target airspeed.

What's the airspeed for maximum endurance in the A36?

110 KIAS is book value. To arrive at the exact figure would require a
bit of extrapolation, but wouldn't vary much more than 5 KIAS in
either direction.
