Fear of Landing

During the conversation with the controller, there was the sound of a single chime on the cockpit voice recorder. This signifies a significant increase in drag which is causing the airspeed to drop by 15 to 20 knots. On the cockpit voice recorder are the sounds of vibration and the stall warning siren.

Cirrus has long been a leader in this category, essentially making glass cockpits the default in piston airplanes over 20 years ago, but they continued to add useful updates like terrain warning systems, digital engine monitors, and advanced autopilots through the years. Now youve moved from smart preparation to moral hazard. No rudder trim.

The pilot is able to control the aircrafts roll by turning the control yoke or sidestick in the cockpit. The rotational force thats needed to move an object about an axis is called torque. The simplest formula for torque is: Torque = F x L L is the distance between the object and the axis of rotation, also called the moment arm.

Another advantage of the counter-rotating props is the elimination of torque roll. This is the tendency to dig in the left tip float during takeoff while countering engine torque. The airfoil is a Harry Riblett shape, giving modernized flow separation on the leading edge for a soft stall yet with good lift and drag performance.
