Help!! ?? re: Vmu and a CFI ?

[pilotswife]

Just a quick question - what is Vmu?
and can a CFI log an approach that a student does the actual flying???

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Minimum Unstick speed



And yes they can

Wrong, wrong wrong! There was a big discussion about this a while back on this board. Link to other thread.
My flight school asked our local FSDO about it, they said NO. They explained it as approaches being too intense to log them without touching the controls. There's a huge difference between talking someone through an approach and actually doing it with your own two hands.

And as far as Vmu goes, here's what a web page I went to says about it: "Minimum unstick speed, Vmu, defines the point at which the aircraft could take off if the maximum possible rotation angle were reached. This maximum angle would occur if the tail of the plane were to actually scrape the ground. Since such a takeoff would be damaging to the plane and most unnerving to passengers, the aircraft actually lifts off at a slightly greater velocity called the liftoff speed, Vlof".

Too intense to log???

Did you forgot to add the /sarcasm after that statement?

No you cant log an approach a student flies. It would be the same as logging instrument time when he/she is under the hood

VMU = Dolittle raiders takeoff, cool to do in powerful planes

But then how do you log the time when you're solo under the hood?

I hope you are joking right??? You do know that you as PIC are ultimately responsible to "see and avoid" What do you do on a solo when old man larry decides to go flying vfr w/ no transponder and your staring at the instruments with a frigg'n hood on?
