Is it such a problem to teach the pilot to pull the release if his airspeed exceeds the desired prameters? ![]() That is exactly what we are taught to do, but making something as counter-intuitive as 'raise nose go faster' does strike me as dangerous in the extreme - a huge amount of the the instruction from 1st flight is based around 'nose down go faster, nose up go slower'. Would you like a situation where right stick produced left bank? I doubt it. |
