Off in the weeds
Well, I *tried* to pull back for rotation. The yoke wouldn't budge. At
first, I thought I had failed to set the elevator trim. 182s are a bit pitch heavy anyway, so I pulled harder. No joy. At this point, puzzle-solving time was over. Airspeed was passing 75, the airplane was heavy, and the end of the runway was fast approaching. Damn, Dan, that's one of the scariest stories I've seen here. What you described is one of my worst-case scenarios with giving rides, ranking right behind having a kid totally freak out in the air. Glad you made it okay. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
