Re: POLL: Max Touchdown Rate Allowed

Hi Dave! I see this issue with mixed emotions. ..... However, you can get carried away if you take that too far...... I think a lot of people join VAs to have some sort of organization to their "hobby"...... .......unfortunate hard landing. Disallowing filing of flights ending with a hard...
