"Peter Duniho" wrote in message ... "Dude" wrote in message ... [...] If you had speed breaks you would allow the pilot more options to control descent given that right now the system that governs the RPM/MP has limited ability to slow the plane without cutting the throttle. How is that different from every other airplane without speed brakes, where you need to reduce the throttle in order to slow down without changing your flight path? I reduce throttle in my plane, and I can increase rpm. The combination will slow my plane without over cooling the engine. I DO NOT want to get into an argument about shock cooling. Whether shock cooling occurs or not does not change the fact that many pilots fly in ways to avoid it. The Cirrus does not allow full control over prop and throttle (aka phony fadec) Bottom line is that if a person has speed breaks, he is less likely to fly slow because he can shed speed whenever needed. Dude, seems to me that by now, you've seen "speed brakes" spelled correctly often enough that it's time you start doing so yourself. LOL, thanks, I will try. Bottom line, the phony Fadec system isn't really all that good. Funny...lots of people find it works just fine. It's not a FADEC, by the way. Pete Well, the ones that have engines dying at 700 hours are a lot frigging louder than the ones that think it works just fine. |
