Interesting article if it wasn't so convoluted with too much information. How about some comments about how video game enthusiasts make better pilots of UAS's? They don't come with the pre-conditioning that comes with being a real pilot.
Not up to Flying Magazine's standards.
I agree with DanOlson.
After owning and flying a P-35 Bonanza, getting to a landing speed after a fast approach is very problematic, especially while trying to prevent shock cooling. Without the gear down, the Bonanza will be too hot and high. With the gear down, 140 knots would not be fast enough to satisfy the controllers best/fast approach speed. The nose up procedure is just about required to get a Bonanza to slow down unless the pilot can start slowing down 20 miles out. Same holds for many fast aircraft that do not have speed brakes.
Smart airport administrators with high approach speed needs for jets have added a second and/or shorter runway to accommodate the slower aircraft.
Graphite composite has very good burn characteristics.

So, when are they going to add a flip up Heads Up Display? I can see it with a clear reflective screen that flips up. Set it securely on the glare shield and flip up the screen.
