Does anybody have a rule of thumb for steep spirals speed. The Airplane Flying Handbook states: After the throttle is closed and GLIDING SPEED is established, a gliding spiral should be started and a turn of constant radius maintained around the selected spot on the ground. But for example if I use the glide speed on the cessna 150 (60 kts) in a 60 degree turn my stall speed will be 66. Since it‘s a 1-2 gs maneuver i don‘t want to end in a stall.
Regards.
