Lancaster California: Another Fatal Cirrus Crashof
Baloney. Have you even tried this? Let's say you have the plane
trimmed for an 85 kt climb. Now remove power. What happens? The nose will come down as the plane attempts to maintain 85 kts, all without any input from you. You have a lot more time than you think. cpu wrote: When I was given a demo flight by Cirrus, I checked their glide ratio is...VERY IMPRESSIVE (9:1)....however, here is the catch: the best glide speed is at 110kt. On a climb out like this (Vx may be 85), you have only few seconds to lower the nose and prepare for a crash landing in front of you. Otherise, stall and spin.
