Subject: [LML] Re: airspeed on
final
I was reading about all these high speed
approaches and did some looking. Lancair advertises the Legacy dirty
stall at 67 mph. Convert to knots, 1.3 x VSO and you get a 76 knot
approach speed. The ES dirty stall is 65 mph, for a 74 knot final
approach speed.
I fly my ES at 80 down final without too
much float, more that I got with my Mooney though. Why are the Legacy
guys zooming down final?
