[quote="6bmikeI haven't landed a Cessna in years but I don't remember a reference to an attack angle- at least not in the jargon of landing an airplane. We did use an angle of approach when landing and it was a downward angle that took the aircraft down to the beginning of the runway- a most important place to get to- you didn't want to be so close to the ground and not be short or long on the approach.

Lynn, for all of us city folk- how does a King Fischer attack?[/quote]

Ahhh! But you did have an "angle of attacK". This "angle of attack" is measured on the wing (airfoil). You controled the wing angle of attack with the "stick or wheel". You controled the rate of decent ( angle of approach) with the throttle.

I don't know what this has to do with golf but it was fun thinking about it again.
