Summary
224 Max talks with Catherine Cavagnaro about whether to use pitch
or power to control landing speed. Most pilots she flies with fly
too fast on final and have trouble nailing an airspeed. She
discusses the front and back sides of the power curve, and how the
results of pulling on the yoke differ on the two sides. She argues
that for speeds slower then Vy, pilots are on the back side of the
curve.
