Hello Max. So happy to land on your site, its super. Many ago read your G1000 book learning the system. I live on the Island of Bermuda
Back in the 80's someone i knew rigged a tennis ball can with a string attached to the lid as a release to the outside of a plane. They used this to spread ashes of a beloved pet.
Descending below minimums is one thing, descending below field elevation is another.
Sounds like suicide
.35 is over 8 times the limit
I was about to solo cross country. My instructor was with me and we flew from KCHD to KSEX among other things. The day before our preview flight someone “went short” at KSEZ and all aboard were lost. My approach to the airport the next day was informed by that incident and was much faster and more slippy than normally would be called for. But I was faster and higher and was not going to succumb to the low level, behind the power curve , incident conditions.
I use 85 knots until short final in my Arrow 3 which has a semic tapered wing. The poh calls for 75 , which I find to be completely inappropriate because it is on the back side of the power curve. At 75 knots, you have to add excessive power to maintain a reasonable sink rate. Depending on which PA 28 this was, It sounds like this pilot may have been a little fast but in my opinion, was not excessively so. Sounds like the main culprit is lack of skills in a heavy gusting crosswind
The lead is buried at 24:00 for those wanting to hear tha, after being alluded to at 12:00 and 20:00. Ant that will be the last time Inlisten to this podcast. Too click-baity with the hook.
That runway excursion is exactly why I don’t like how often you try and tell people “you can always go around “ as someone who operates out of a field less than 2000’ with 100’ trees at either end
You can not always go around. 3 notches of flaps is commitment
Sometimes you are too low, too slow and too dirty to just stuff the throttle and try and save it. Somtimes you have to put it down and having a little voice splitting your decision making at that moment isn’t helpful
Love his channel. Thank you Max !
Some of us do have an emotional support snake. Just saying.
