2% Runway slope limitation

[HMR]

usually I'm just sittin' there scratching my head and mumblin' "Hmmmm..."

Sheesh, that's me everytime I get behind the yoke.

Hey, don't let that stop you. It's never stopped me before.

Guess I can't be bashful around here! LOL

Sheesh, that's me everytime I get behind the yoke.

Ha ha... me too... good to have some company!

While we're talking slope...

I used to fly a PT135 twin in and out of a dirt strip with a 6% grade. Can anyone top that?

Holy shnikes! You got me beat. How about this one... Mr. Toad's Wild Ride... Courchevel... http://www.buttonvilleflyingclub.com/photos/courchevel.pps

Yeah, I have to jump on the ones I know... usually I'm just sittin' there scratching my head and mumblin' "Hmmmm..."

That's me. So what would be the case if we flew together???

Ha ha... well, I think that's the ol' "how many _____ does it take to screw in the bulb" question! Ah, I'm sure it'd be a good time... and that's what counts, right?

HMR...
That ski jump, err, runway has to beat anything I've ever seen. How would you like to have been the first guy to fly in there in a -8? Those guys had huevos the size of cantloupes.

Yep Clutch Cargo, that's what counts. Good point.

Lead Sled, I've learned a few things from you and the Avbug cat along the way.
Thanks for sharing (in a non-confronting) way. I'm always ready to learn from your type.

Dave.

So far no one has asked me a question that I couldn't find the answer for in my copy of "Flying for Dummies".

'Sled, maybe I could use you as a reference for my new book...

"How to Land a Plane in 10 Easy Steps... OR... It Wasn't the Pilot's Fault, It Wasn't the Plane's Fault, It Was the Asphalt!"

What are your rates.

If you want to know the actual slope, check the afd (green noaa book) published every 56 days, it has the slope everywhere. Your AFM limitations and performance numbers are the limitations when you figure slope and conditions.
