Lancaster California: Another Fatal Cirrus Crashof
"Newps" wrote From 800 feet??? I thought you were talking close to the ground. When I had my 182 I needed 450 feet to return to the runway I took off from, landing opposite direction. From 800 feet I will make a pattern of it and land the same way I took off. That sounds suspect as an over generalization, to me. A 152 will take a lot more time to descend that same altidude, vs a 182, or a sr-22, right? That of course is a relative term but from 800 feet you will have over a minute before you hit the ground. Two minutes with a 152, then? The time to get your head wrapped around the situation would seem, to me, to be an important factor. It should be enough for both cases, but how much lower is still enough, for the 152 brain in a sr-22? -- Jim in NC
