Just curious A,
What's the POH say for emergency descent speeds for the Mooney?
I know for sure, that I cannot do 152 knots (POH says 152 for
emergency descents) doing a slip in my Sundowner with all that drag.
I couldn't even get to VNE nose down within my own safe parameters
without bank.
Again, the purpose of this exercise for me was emergency descent for
collision avoidance. I wanted to get a feel for what the plane would
do under non emergency situations and it was a huge lesson learned for
me.
Be carefull up there!
I have been told several times that the the vertical tail is the weak link
on most aircraft--not just the Airbus 320--and that the maximum speed
permissible for full rudder deflection is frequently less than the stated
"maneuvering speed.
Assuming the above is true, I have no idea how to determine the maximum
speed for full rudder deflection.
