[NSRCA-discussion] Crashing on takeoff and landing

[chris moon]

DCC is exactly what John said it is -"demonstrated".  Is it the 

maximum?  maybe, maybe not but who wants to be holding the yoke when you 

find out it was the maximum and you just tried to exceed it and ended up 

in the weeds.  And just because the conditions are under the DCC, that 

does not mean that everyone is capable of landing or taking off the 

plane safely. Maybe Clint Eastwood was right - "a man's got to know his 

limitations"
