Barn Door Flaps and Sink Rate

Byron offers yet more flying lesson savvy .............

How weird can weird get in real life?

Try taking off with full flaps.. it can be done... well at least in the Cessna he was in.

Its easy just do touch and goes and don't retract the flaps on the go around...

Trundle down the runway with full  flaps and full power wondering why the plane does not want to lift off...

As as you see the end of the runway approaching rotate..... it will go up.. stall horn blaring...

Then.. Milk the Flaps ups ever sooooooo slowly while grimacing ........ a little bit at a time...  you don't want to feel the sink rate in the pit of your stomach ideally as you are inches above the tree tops
.. and you might wind up a ball of fire on the ground below.

 Think later , Seems so and so was born a hypocrite........ I don't see it in the Pilots Operating Handbook anywhere.

Oh its been a really really long day.. you should not have stayed up all night drinking.....

Forrest suggests...... you not try this technique.... but it can be done and you probably won't see it demonstrated at any air shows........
