Yep, I saw that story. Just sounds like a glide approach? Seems like a good idea on the face of it, but I am not a jet jockey, so I don't know the technical pros and cons with regards to turbine engines.
I remember from my power flying training that you have to keep the engine warm on a long descent (normally involved increasing the RPM occasionally). Does the same apply to jet engines? Perhaps another good reason for jet jockeys to do some glider training? _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
