Great - should have been done years ago. Thanks Rob, John and BMAA. The LAA on the Vne check are very keen to ensure the engine does not over-rev, and ask for a note of what was achieved. I note Rob applies full power - on some engines this could definitely exceed the red line.
Hi Dave, you're absolutely right and great advice. Engine rpm must be monitored carefully during the Vne dive, to ensure no chance of redlining. Remember you don't have to go all the way, within 5kts or 5% is perfectly acceptable.
Hush up for 5 minutes mate. I just want to enjoy the aircraft sound, plus enjoy the scenery. Yep as a 70 something teenager, one day, I might buy one, but right now I just want to enjoy the silence, and view the scenery. Just 5 minutes, of hush, is all I ask. Thank you.
