I'm wondering what the consequences of overspeeding on winch launches are? I understand that it places stress on the airframe, but to what extent?
I find it near impossible to control the airspeed on the top third of a launch and have found myself over speeding the placarded max. speed by 5 - 10 knots a few times despite signalling to the winch driver. Should I be taking the approach of releasing at 2/3 of typical launch height (e.g. 700 - 800 foot) if my airspeed isn't under control at this point? Thanks in advance |
