There is the question. I'm in a mood today. Have you flown your
favorite aircraft with zero or near zero indicated airspeed? I'm
talking about controlled flight and predictable outcomes.
Let the games begin. I'm so freaking tired of beach volleyball and the
bull**** olympics that is full of professionals. Whoooooppppss I
digress
Zero IAS. Why is it important to pilots? And I'm talking about in
flight, not sitting on the ramp with the engine off.
1959 C-150 with 40' flaps and drooped wingtips. about 1/2 throttle, FULL
flaps and climbing 100 FPM at ZERO indicated air speed. I would guess is
was near 50+ but with the pitot tube at slow air speeds and high AOA it
read 0.
