[quote=AK][quote=CDMA ENG]What the instructors did was to raise the nose, contrary to what most pilots would do in a stall, and to go flaps down with the engines to 85 percent power. This places the aircraft in a very stable configuration where the plane’s wing will generate enough lift to maintain flight in all conditions.[/quote]
Interesting … Sounds a lot like what the captain in the Colgan Air crash did, except the copilot simultaneously raised the flaps.[/quote]
So here is a youtube video of the prodcedure. Difference here is that that the computer is still in control of the throttles becasue it is getting data from the pitot tubes. In 447 they were not…
The scariest thing about this whole video is that at attitude the wing only has about 20 knot between stall and compressibility. Its a very tight airspeed to have to maintain and now everytime I hear the motors on a aircraft kick back it spooks me!
