Sabre wheels up - video clip

Exactly - trim for about 5 deg [depending on aircaft type] into dead feathered engine and trim rudder to netural and apart from the look flyes like a single. About 30 kts loss in TAS [for 150cruise aircraft] and half the fuel burn. No hidden problems - other than a lower LSA [mainly relative to IFR] on one - depending on your track this may require a deviation obviously . Landing is exactly the same - fly IAS and aircraft does not know any difference.

 

About time you revisited the club - I find face to face much eaiser then then computer comments - a casual comment can seem like a major problem which in fact is just an observation.

 

Cheers

Ross, below VMCA im sure some sweat beads would appear on the forehead..lol..I thought it was rudder trim for half a ball out...;)

 

I have been unlucky enough to be faced with a semi retracted landing gear on a non retractable, ie, a stall onto the runway which collapsed the undercarriage and bounced back into the air with the nose all but vertical.

 

I took time to asses the options as to where to land and elected to go to a nearby sealed strip. I have to admit, enroute i was briefing my student (BFR cantidate) i considered stopping the engine over the keys , mainly to stop bits of timber braking off and causing injury.

 

But eventually came to the conclusion that i could touch down slower with power on and also, go around should the appch get messy.

 

It ended up ok...
