That's right. Bill Gates just miracles the rest of the approach into
place.

Applying power will not accelerate you downhill.

Point one of your toy airplanes into an 70-degree descent and apply full
power.

Student pilots, consult your FAA Airplane Flying Handbook, Chapter 3,
Page 19:

"Through a wide range of nose-low attitudes, a descent is the only
possible condition of flight. The addition of power at these attitudes
will only result in a greater rate of descent at a faster airspeed."

By the way, I'm no longer talking to MXNumbnuts here. He's a washout
and a non-pilot. I'm talking to student pilots who might be led astray
by his ignorance and misinformation.
