In those situations, you can descend by flying slowly (slower than Vx)
on the other side of the knee in the curve, but you must remain above
stall speed.


Try it at altitude first so you get a feel for the impending stall
should it occur.


Remember, he's flyin' a sim.

I did this to a landing once in a spot landing contest
where we were not allowed to slip, and I was high. Scared my passenger
(also a pilot) though; apparantly he hadn't really done much full-stall
slow flight.


Full-stall slow flight. That's an interesting term; you really mean
partially stalled, right?
