Title: Re: Crash & Burn Post by nmaggie on Jun 8th, 2007 at 3:11am
All above good advice. Also, don't forget that the REAL culprit for a stall is critically high angle of attack. Airspeed is really a proxy for AOA, more or less. Don't forget to also consider:
-Bank angle (= higher angle of attack as the nose is pitched up trying to maintain altitude and/or tighten turn radius. Also, increased G loads increase stall speed.) -Sink rate (= higher angle of attack as the relative wind shifts from the leading edge of the wing more towards the underside of the wing.) Be especially careful of your bank angle & sink rate while turning from base to final. Don't get too agressive trying to line up on the runway & PAPI. I'm a CS 727 "newbie," but I like Ops Manual Appendix 1 Vref's & minimum maneuvering speeds. I use that as a flap schedule more or less, I like to end up around 140 kts with flaps 30 deg on final. Floats a little though, & I'm still horsing the throttles a bit to keep glidepath as I'm learning the "feel.."
