DocHoliday wrote:Realistically speaking, I don't think I pilots can do much while in the reentry phase, with all the G-force bearing down on them. Small corrections yes, but drasting measures to correct a mistake in the initial setup, no..
DocHoliday wrote:As I said once before, I can't really imagine how the Shuttle crew manages to do those S-turns designed to bleed off speed but not increase the drag. The forces must shift drastically.
I believe the indicator at the bottom of ReentryMFD is the difference between direction to base and the direction of the velocity vector, not heading.
