Err I don't think that's 100% correct but it will do for MX. Please then for my benefit point me to such a regulation. Technically speaking, it is illegal to descend faster than about 25,000fpm (needs to be adjusted based on density, since it's give in terms of indicated airspeed) when below 10,000ft. I doubt too many flights would need to worry about this limitation. You've got it! Also Vne is usually a lot slower than that for most GA. There are other "tricky" examples I can think of. Cheers |
