That's a relief,

I am glad it was not too bad. Altitude is always your friend. It is one leg of the flight triangle. It is also the most forgiving.

You know those little questions or saying you here in aviation over the years, such as;

"What is the firing order of a turbine?",

"What are the 3 useless things in aviation?",

"I forgot more about aviation than you will ever know",

"I was working in aviation when you were still pooping zinc chromate"

I have earned the right to use many of these sayings because I have been in the field for over 31 years.

The flight triangle, This one is so true.

"As long as you have Altitude, airspeed,(Nr for helis, rotor speed) and ideas, you are golden".

Loose one leg of the triangle, and you have a gravity issue, which in most cases, ends with sudden stopage into something much harder than your flying machine. If you are whitty, skilfull, and or lucky enough after loss of a single leg, you are a HERO, if not you are a Zero.

Please note, there is only one letter difference between the two.

I am glad it is all good,
