Jack & netters,
That is a great illustration for control cable failure compensation, and I in
fact teach similar "improper" mixing of the flight controls to my advance
students so that they have an answer for such situations instead of crashing.
They might not land the prettiest using this method, but under those
circumstances walking away whole is more important. I also teach & demonstrate
elevator trim only landings for the same reason.
However, I know it was a different age of testing and the PTS was very
different then, but netters please do not use the demonstrated method of flying
the "8's on pylons" maneuver with only rudder and elevator, as shown to Jack.
I am glad you passed then, but in the latest version of the PTS, it
specifically mentions maintaining coordinated flight and his method would be a
guaranteed failure of the ride. I normally would not have posted this here,
but rather just discussed it with Jack, however all would see it here, so I
corrected it here. Again, I wholeheartedly endorse such practices as a
necessity of failure, but do not recommend anyone try this while on a ride,
lest he desire to fail miserably.
Pulling the transmission soon...
