He talked about making short field landings in a King Air by going
into reverse pitch while still 50 ft above the dirt.... ARGH! Known as Beta Mode in a Porter, and was used to drop from the sky at a great rate of knots when you wanted to get down in a hurry. It has been used for parachuting and allows the aircraft to get down faster than the jumpers..... Also good for taxi operations. I am considering a Storch, www.storch.com.au and have just had a great chat with the designer about this and a few other things. Looks like I'm about to take a trip down to see him...... Peter
