Back in my CFI days I would regularly indicate P, as in airsPeed . I am not sure what my backwards GS was though.

Don't know how many of you fellas have ever tried back in the instructing days or there-abouts, taking off and landing without ever leaving the runway centerline(usually in a 150-152).

For those of you who don't have a clue what I'm talking about...........Need a STRONG headwind day, preferably right down the pipe.......then rotate, SLOW flight and come backwards down the runway and put her right on the numbers where you left just seconds before. It can be done!!! I've seen it and have the pleasure of doing it once myself. Anyone else?

Re: GS

Gs 775 in C-750 at flight lever 510

775 MPH maybe. How much tailwind did you have for that feat?
I thought you flew a Hawker?

 

[7B2]

98 kts once in a C-152, but 27 kts after that flight over the ramp running to the restrooms when I had the sh!ts.

 

[pilot1704]

we had way over 200kts tails

You right most of the time hawkers!

Fly some 91 X and try to break records!
