RE: CD Waiver Sign-off... The Best Propeller Plane for the Test?
Amen, to the above post. It took quite a bit of skill to get some of the ducted fan equipment off of the ground. I see a difference in the flying skills of those who flew ducted fan in the past prior to flying turbines and those who did not. Throttle management is key on any airplane as well as proper training especially turbine powered aircraft. I can remember when runway length, and grass length on the safety over run were issues just to get a ducted fan jet into the air. I consider it a privilege to fly a jet with enough power to takeoff with authority all of which are taken for granted by others.
