I always thought this would be a good idea in Ireland, especially if combined with a charity air ambulance service. I don't know how many times I've burned holes in the sky solo when i could have collected a cancer patient from the west of Ireland for treatment in Dublin or whatever. They have mount...

For my PPL, i wore jeans and a t-shirt, it was the examiner who showed up in shorts and sandals!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BmsRmfFYTA Very high nose attitude, stretching the glide. Very hard to tell from that video, but it does look like the RAT is deployed. Can anyone else tell? Here's a pic of where the RAT is on the 777: http://www.wahoodivingcenter.com/imgUpload/reply89081_RAT2.jpg

Agree with the stall, I think it was windshear.
