Nicely done video!
I am sure there is much use of autopilots and RNAV for all of this.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

But just wait until Evan becomes aware that those bodies of water don't have ILSs and declares them unsafe.Be alert! America needs more lerts.

For me, the margin is over when the stall warning starts, since at that point a recovery is required.

Let's speculate as to what they're called:- Fine
- Not fine
- Really not fine
- No, seriously, I'm not kidding, this is not okay
- You're dead

No doubt these are ace pilots. I'm sure they could 401 it too, no problem. Besides, life is short anyway and $40M is a small price to pay for a rare moment of pure exhilaration.

And, know what, I bet a beer that they aren't paying much attention to your (and Gabriels ) needle. (Head exploding yet?)
Instead, I bet they are focused on the view out the window, their rear ends, the airspeed indicator and their significant experience and maybe...just maybe...mentally listening for a stall warning...Ok, fine, I'll give you and Gabe a concession that maybe they might give the AOA indicator a quick glance...
But, at the end of the day, it's called airmanship.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

We ruin the thread.
But we tend to overreact. I mean, you've got REALLY GOOD pilots there, instinctive airmanship, with a REALLY GOOD airplane. Throw in an audience, let them show off a bit, what could go wrong.......?

Instead, it's more about finely honed skill combined with good situational awareness.

Skills and situational awareness, including limitations.
