Why stay low till the end of the runway? Traffic avoidance? I've never heard that...

 

[Roger, Roger]

...cuz its more fun that way.

 

[mhcasey]

So is pitching above Vy when you have tons of extra energy, but that's not on the list?

 

[Roger, Roger]

part of managing risk that I was talking about. especially in a twin.

 

[mhcasey]

Roger, I have no idea what you are saying. Were you making a point about one being safe and not the other? Or just generally saying to PGT and others, "Hey don't to stupid things in an airplane, but don't be afraid to have fun every once in a while either?"

 

[Roger, Roger]

The second one.

Why stay low till the end of the runway? Traffic avoidance?

I would say that is a pretty good reason for not climbing back up to pattern altitude.

 

[TurdBird]

Anybody ever heard the phrase...

"Cleared for low approach"...

I have.

Hey I remember hearing that a few times!

 

[Holocene]

there is plenty of energy to do the "go around" into a normal traffic pattern.

Damn, I would not have thought that. Gliders must be a ton of fun.
