At this point, the pilots will contact ATC for push and start clearance , allowing the plane to be pushed back from its parking position (if applicable, depending on the airport) and to start its engines in sequence.

Although I havent spent much time around GB1s (except for drooling over them while they are on display and flying at airshows) I am always taken aback by how much larger the airplane appears to be in personparticularly, the tall, sweeping rudder that curves down to a sharp point with just enough ground clearance.

Head on view of the Northrop X-4 Bantam (NASA) The X-4 was a research aircraft developed by the Northrop Corporation to test the stability of semi-tailless wing designs at transonic speeds in excess of Mach 0.9. For better maintenance access, the small tail of the aircraft could be removed to work on or remove the engines.

By doing so, a recognizable, firm input demonstrates that using all the aileron travel wasn’t the answer—those rudder pedals are not footrests. Constant manipulation of attitude and power while chasing errant airspeed are signs that a CFI needs to step in to stabilize things.

This can greatly impact landing performance and obstacle clearance. This gives you a safe buffer on the stall speed and plenty of time to stabilize. Use the rudder to keep the aircraft in line with the runway and apply aileron into the wind. You will need more aileron input as you slow down as the controls become less effective.

Planespotters note the F2’s separate ailerons and flaps, conventional tail. But you can see the change to separate ailerons and flaps is just one part of preparing the F2 to grow into a four-place airplanebuying aerodynamic benefits now to spend later on a heavier, more powerful model. Out back, theres an entirely new tail.
