New member here. Returning to aviation after almost 20 years and am considering buying a used RV6/7.
Hypothetically ...
At 8000 feet my engine quits. All the normal restart procedures fail. I see a 2000 foot runway about 2 miles off.
So I head to my chosen approach area and begin a spiral, hoping to roll out on 1/2 mile final at 500 feet.
But, it turns into about 1000 feet agl and I'm just passing 85 mph - slowly bring on full flaps. Still gonna overshoot more than I want.
Can I aggressively slip with full flaps without fear of an exciting pitchover at low altitude?
