Also he was close on the operation limits and if he was heavy (overloaded) he could have easily gone in a stall/spin including heavy turbulence Why? He was (as has been pointed out in other posts in this thread) almost 3 miles AGL. If he was losing airspeed, point the nose down. Why would he stall? I've been in a lot of turbulence (I live on the Colorado Front Range) and it has never caused the airplane to come close to stall speed. Michael Well, I can't claim to have ever flown in severe turbulence, but my sense is not that the turbulence causes you to lose airspeed and stall, but that the correct way to handle this situation is to slow down enough that you are likely to stall if a gust is severe enough to stress the airframe. That's not to suggest that you want to end up in a spin, but it seems preferable to stall and spin at altitude then to have parts of the plane get ripped off. If I'm in a thunderstorm I'm going to make sure my airspeed stays below Va. -- David Rind |
