Avoiding Vne

Andreas,

You are obviously referring to my posts earlier.

If you read them again, you will see that when you get close to 200 knots
diving an ASW20C it does not matter whether you notice it or not, it is too
late (this is not my opinion or experience, it came from Schleicher).

The pilot was fairly inexperienced, and new to the type. This was true for
me in the past, how about you?

It is not unheard of for pilots recovering from a stall/spin to be too
enthusiastic about the recovery, and to finish diving too steeply for too
long. If you have ever had any experience as an instructor, you have
surely had a pupil do this to you, I certainly have (which is one reason
why we practice recoveries dual). I gather this is what happened with the
accident I commented about, I believe the whole thing started below about
2,000 ft. above the crash site.

If you have read the report of the Minden accident on 13th July 1999 you
will find much the same thing. There were other factors at Minden of
course, so were there with the ASW20C.

I think the date of the accident was 11th January, 1987.

Could anyone please tell me how one can get an ASW-20 to 200 kts
without noticing it? I've got a couple of hours in the 20, but I have
not found any situation where this could have been possible.

Bye
Andreas
