PRA is collecting safety data and needs your help. This is a good excuse to go do some test flying.
The test flight:
This is just the first test collection as a rough poll.
We will eventually post another thread and ask the pro's what real data points we would need to collect. EG Make, Modle, GW at the time of test, Density Altitude, Blades: Make, length & cord. etc.
The test flight:
- Ascend over a real landing site to at least 500 feet AGL. More if not a high time pilot.
- Practice= imagine your at 50 feet AGL cursing speed and your engine is out so pull power to idle but enter an true vertical decent for 50 feet and note your vertical decent speed.
