DCC is exactly what John said it is -"demonstrated". Is it the
<br>maximum? maybe, maybe not but who wants to be holding the yoke when you
<br>find out it was the maximum and you just tried to exceed it and ended up
<br>in the weeds. And just because the conditions are under the DCC, that
<br>does not mean that everyone is capable of landing or taking off the
<br>plane safely. Maybe Clint Eastwood was right - "a man's got to know his
<br>limitations"
