* As you found, forward CG translates into increased drag, which means
airspeed drops off quicker than usual. You can either carry more airspeed on final (scrubbing off to normal touchdown speed in the flare, but doing so more quickly than normal) or you can use more power (using thrust to offset the extra drag). I would think that the only source of increased drag from a forward c.g. condition is profile drag due to a more nose-up elevator trim tab or elevator. How do you see a forward c.g.'s extra drag translating into premature airspeed bleeding? Sink rate and angle of descent would increase...but airspeed? Alex |
