250 KIAS SPEED RESTRICTION

Time to descend to 14000 in the event of loss of cabin pressure. No
Spoilers takes longer and therefore has to fly at a lower altitude.

Indication problem with the gear most likely. Flew with it down and
pinned.
Most other problems can be speed taped and flown at normal speed.

Michelle, et al,

Along similar lines, I recently flew an America West 757 that had it's
spoilers placarded as INOP and according to the Captain, per their MEL they
were altitude restricted to no higher than FL290...

RVSM starts at 290 doesn't it? Why would spoilers (or the lack of same) be
a concern for RVSM flight?

Just wondering if anyone may have a clue on this...

Maybe if you tape on a JATO pack!

Aluminum tape with a strong adhesive. Great Stuff. The stuff we used was
rated for 500 MPH. Used to cover dents or holes in composite parts.

Can I use it on our cherokee to go 500 mph?

The colder the windshield is, the more brittle it is.

The analogy used when I was taught this was to consider the nature of
toffee; warm toffee bends and will rarely shatter if dropped, toffee from
the fridge shatters with minimal impact. Same deal with the glass and
laminates in the windshield.
