Max Airspeed at 10k feet

Hey, well I want to put in .833/350 but apparently that's "not allowed". Ok.

OK ladies....

The whale at a low cost Index, it's like 253 indicated, and you have to bump it up to match profile. Even at lightweights, the jet wants .84 to 290. At heavy weights it likes 310 or 320. Normal cost index it likes .86/340 or so.
 
You know it's bad when the widebody guys are complaining about the pattern. You're like "I'M FLYING THE 747 PATTERN AND IT'S SMALLER THAN YOURS. WTF OVER, THERE AIN'T NO COLD BEER UP HERE!"

This, along with CFI's wearing stripes, is on my short list of aggravations.

And it's usually the CFIs wearing stripes that teach those kinds of patterns. there is no reason for a C172 to be any farther out than than the wing strut dividing the runway in half on downwind, and turing base at the 45 degree point (or closer, sometimes it's more fun to come in a bit high, drop the flaps, kick the rudder one way, aileron the other, and let 'er drop).

Normal landing using normal maneuvers...what's abnormal about a huge slip to 20' ATDZE?
I consider anything in the private exam to be a normal maneuver. if I need to stall to lose the last 500 feet to make the runway, so be it!



of course I'm kidding... but full flap slips are definitely not out of the question, hell, they're fun

They are fun, just look out for the nose down buffet--especially pronounced in a 150 with 40 degrees.
