Perhaps you glossed over a comment earlier ? The reference to the POH instructions specifically concerned the instruction to round off the trimline...
It appears that my optimism may have been misplaced a tad. A straightforward engineering review of the sheet indicates that it (probably) has been ...

As with training environments generally, the story presented is simplified to an extent appropriate to need. Stalling is no different. [i][b] [col...
