Having spent a season flying my father’s 27, I flew my Standard Cirrus
(of which I have about 600 hours in) for the first time in a while.

Climbing out of a racing finish at close to VNE I instinctively went to
gently move the flap leaver back…..opening your airbrakes at VNE low down
focussed the mind somewhat. Not something I wish to do again!!
