What is corner velocity for P47D11?

Just dont take anything on here seriously (unless when drunk ) and it rarely bothers you - works for me.

I hear ya. Kind of why I have my models and my aviation books as other hobbies when I'm not busy with work or around the house. Damn models cost so much I can't get frustrated with them and break them. Same goes for the books.

specs/stats are crap

it is either fast (b&z) or slow (t&b)

if you have to look at your gauges in the middle of it, you are dead against anyone who knows halfway how to fly ..

your only hope is the other guy is reading his gauges while you are trying to read yours

turn wind up to 100%, eng down to 80%, flaps and stall horn to 100% and LISTEN

I'll be sure to give the training pilots that bit of advice next time I'm at Seymour Johnson or Tyndall.

Actually better yet I'll walk over to Test Ops and the Test Pilot School and tell them that.

If they are playing AH, it will help

we are talking about a video game not RL

[Cobra412]

So if they don't have a clue as to the performance of a particular plane they should just wing it instead of taking a look at performance charts?

I'm sure the aircrews over at the Test Pilot school will get a kick out of that. Especially considering they fly a different aircraft daily (T-6, T-38, Albatross, MiG, F-16, F-15, ect...)and have to know such information in order to fly it to the extreme.

Wait I forgot. We don't have to worry about dying. So winging it is always best.

we're not flying multi-million dollar jets.

there's a reason for "fly by the seat of your pants."


at least my yapping has a point.  you're just ankle humping for the sake of ankle humping.

what's the corner velocity of that  white high-horse you're on?

[Cobra412]

So because it's a game and theirs nothing really at stake you shouldn't bother with learning performance charts?

It's a matter of getting better through other advanced options instead of just winging it and learning through trial and error. Very similiar to how real fighter pilots do it or anyone else who wants to excel in a particular area. Obviously that's the case here or he wouldn't be asking this particular question now would he? Or is it you just failed to put 2 and 2 together from the start? So tell me, who's ankle humping?

And yep Shane everytime you speak it's definately worth listening.

My father was a commercial pilot, multi engine rated prop and an instructor for all ratings up to multi engine prop commercial. When I flew with him or his associates, yes, you needed to watch the instraments, know your "corner speed" and anything else vital to getting safely from point A to point B.

This is a game, yes a very, very good "game". But you can become a Shane, YUCCA, furball or whatever without ever looking at a guage. If SunTracker thinks he'll look at guages while Shane is dueling him, he lost the match in the tower.

[Shane]

whoa...  i never said the charts are useless (except for myself) or that people *should* "just do it."

i can see reading isn't your strong suit.

i'm only here because i felt the breeze of a distant ankle humping. it's fun to poke ankle humpers with pointy objects.

[pellik]

*poke*

[Cobra412]

Yes Bustr I understand you can become as good as they are. They also have years of experience when it comes to flying. So in order to try and make up for that huge gap you have to learn advanced techniques and take advantage of everything you can.

 Shane stfu. I can also see you just like jumping  in to anything so you can run your trap. We're not flying multi million dollar aircraft so we don't need performance charts.

[Shane]

i bet those flyboys are *required* to learn the charts.

we're not... it may or may not be helpful but you can get by without them.

why'd *you* jump in this thread?  such delish irony.

Actually your father might be a commericail pilot but you dont have a clue as to what he knows about cornering speed. It is not a function of commercial flying. Unless he flew or trained as a fighter pilot then he have heard the concept but never had to learn it. It might sound nice but holds no water in the discussion.

I sure he was a fine commercial pilot but try and stick to the facts. Thanks.
