Nowhere does it say "jockey the snot out of the throttle to maintain airspeed because you're chasing your altitude and as a result your airspeed went through the roof"
Thoughts?
I would agree that the PTS has holes in it but IMO, its pretty sloppy aircraft control to have to use the throttle as an airspeed lever. |
OK I will say it again, maybe you will catch it this time. ITS EASIER TO DO IT WITHOUT VARYING POWER!!!!!!!!
The Airplane Flying Handbook say "Enter at cruise setting" not MAINTAIN cruise setting.
All these FAA publications have holes in them.
Here is another example. Can you do steep spirals with the flaps extended?
Before you answer, show me where it says NO YOU CAN'T
