Are you referring to a real airplane or simulated flight with MSFS?

I'm asking about real airplanes, subsequent to a simulated flight with
the same aircraft that ended tragically just a few minutes ago,
probably due to icing, although I'm not sure. I tried the flight as
an experiment to see if it was possible, and I'd like to know from
pilots of the real aircraft whether or not it would be possible or
safe to attempt it in real life.

Weather at Aspen was low IFR so I had planned to divert to Garfield
County, but I lost control of the aircraft about 20 miles southeast at
12500 feet and impacted terrain.


Wow. Our resident ace pilot can't even fly a 172 on his simulator! I
wonder who give him directions on how to pee.

You didn't include the area forecast and any sigmets or airmets. What
is the climb rate in a 172 for the given W/B at the temperature and
altitude you mentioned?




Do you really expect MXSMORON to do any sort of flight planning? His
concept of pre-flight checks is to make sure his computer is plugged in and
then hit power on. He doesn't even know that he should kick the tires
before he lights the fires.

In this case the output of the game had a modicum of accuracy, MX
would have crashed a real 172 also.

He would have had to start , taxi and take off first, all of which seems
pretty unlikely.

Yeah, but a lot of **** seems unlikely to you Buttlipp.


Yes, like you ever getting a clue, for instance.

Good point.
BTW I'm starting aerobatic lessons in a Citabria next week... WhooHoo!
When are you going to get yours going? Any vices I should be warned
about?

Could you be quiet please, Bertie and I are discussing flying?

Should be flying in about three more weeks or so. The airplane itself is
pretty easy to fly as an airplane. If you haven't flown any old
tailwheel airplanes or gliders you will have to wake your feet up a bit
just for the normal manuevering. It's pretty much a textbook airplane,
though. If he doesn't say it to you , be as smooth as you can in
everything you do. that doesn't neccesarily mean slow, but you'll always
get more performance if you're smooth.

I didn't check them, although I looked at the current and forecast weather for
the several airports that interested me.

Do you know the answer to my question or not? You shouldn't need radar tracks
or a FDR just to reply.

It's still light outside ... I think I'll try it in the Baron, although I'm
pretty sure that it will be easy in that aircraft, if the weather isn't too
bad.
