Barry, come up to Redmond and sit with me tomorrow.  Pete can give it to you direct at the Lancair High Performance Recurrent Training at the Comfort Inn.  We can even talk Red Star on the breaks and at lunch.

If you do not have absolute confidence in being able to safely perform a go-around in the Legacy from 1.2-1.3 Vso with all that excess thrust, you may want to reconsider flying it. The "added" safety of flying at 1.5-1.6 Vso I keep hearing about presents it's own set of hazards (running down planes in the pattern, etc.). While I sure don't have tons of time flying razor wing aircraft like some guys on this list, I have never heard of such a standard practice in any other high performance airplane.

 

I would love to hear what Pete Z. and other "high performance" pros have to say on this issue...

 

Cheers,

 

Barry
