I have been flying solo all summer because of COVID. Today I took my long-time flying buddy up with both of us wearing masks. No political statement – just wearing masks to stay safe from virus and enjoy flying together in same airplane.
So, all summer long I’ve been landing with pronounced nose-high full-stall landing in order to get stall warning to annunciate. When I’m flying solo, I don’t have siren blaring in my ear – just how I like it.
Today, with two people (340#) and half fuel the stall warning comes on earlier in the landing flare and sings its song for several seconds. Perfect – it reminds me to be cognizant of higher gross weight and higher stall speed.
