December 12, 2019 Pilots know that on occasion ATC will leave you at altitude far too long. The reasons vary but it presents a challenge to pilot and aircraft. The MU2 has no problem handling a quick descent...
Some day I am coming to Muscle Shoals. Thanks for putting out these videos to help me through the pandemic. Nice balance between out the window, sub-titles, instruments, and other displays.
On Decent to the AOA for helping you control your pitch angle and your airspeed to use the power to control your Decent rate if you have one which you know is the Angle of Attack . Proper response is to push over the nose down, and when you are fast the AOA indicate the arrows is pointing up what you have to do is to raise the nose
I am officially impressed. Pressurization system seems to have performed flawlessly. Also seemed to be fairly smooth air on descent Would you have modified the descent had the air been a little rougher? How far back did you pull the power to descend that far in that distance?
Yes rough air would have limited the descent airspeed to around 200 KTS or what is called maneuvering speed tp prevent the possibility of structural damage. The power levers were at just above flight idle. At 10K the cabin was already at sea level pressure (+500ft) so that was not a concern.. thanks for watching
