One thing high performance aircraft drivers are wary about.
Being low, being slow, being dirty (configured).
Reported by a high performance aircraft driver out of BK a week or so ago. Just airborne with a strong south easter blowing, encountered very strong mechanical turbulence, the sheer was such that it was very difficult not to bust flap limit speeds and keep the shiny side up.....Hmmm, asked if it was reported, response no, being already up to the neck in alligators the last thing wanted was to poke them.
I wonder what caused that? firstly the turbulence secondly the reluctance to report? Hmmmm.
