Well I will have to reevaluate my understanding of pitch angle. I don’t want to say you are wrong but I will have to do some more studying before I can change the understanding I have had for 30 years. I doubt the definition has changed since flight school, but it is entirely possible that my memory has deteriorated in that time. Just one of the joys of getting old. LOL. And these old grapes probably aren’t helping my reasoning much right now either.
BTW, I am enjoying this discussion. Some might think it is an argument, I prefer to call it debate. The difference being mutual respect and absence of anger. I hope this is also how you see it. These days I can’t assume everybody does.
You are correct sir. I was confused, or maybe inebriated. But time and education have relieved me of both. Now I will try to get the feel for landing this thing.
