Angel Flight, as many pilots know, is a marvelous way to give back to our community and to ease the burden of those in need. Today we’re giving 22 year old Josué a lift from his home in Santa Maria to UCLA for treatment. Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot
Indeed the normal slam dunk descent... and as you note, even at idle the DA40 descending at ~1000 fpm is moving along pretty well.The ol' Santa Monica slam dunk. What kind of rate of speed reduction can you get in the DA40 going downhill?
Agreed. The 3-bladed MT prop can indeed help put some brakes on.At least you can push the prop forward on the DA40 to help a little.
