Why are you writing about 36' ? You said it said 32' in the f4 man.

The normal range is -5 - +25 degrees AOA, which means that anything outside is out of control. At the initial stage of an out of control situation the a/c can actually be within these limits.

Above 25 degrees AOA both horizontal tails are commanded to full trailing edge down by the pitch axis of the FLCS to try to reduce the AOA.

Above 29 degrees AOA the yaw rate limiter provides antispin inputs to the rudder, flaperons & horizontal tails.
Above 29 degrees is also the point where the MPO switch is functional for positive stick inputs.

So where the hell did they get +36' from. I understand what your trying to say now, you dont need to be all the way upto +36 to loose control, you can loose control at 29'. Is that what you mean?

I bet that Capt Houston was bullshitting. Now when I look back he seemed like a good guy but was always bragging about how good he was on the UTAH weapons testing grounds. If he was telling a load of crap I will not be impressed, infact I will be very sad because he has lied to me to make me belive otherwise about the F16. I have my own theories about the F16 and I hate all this classified crap, it makes the F16 look worst than it really is.

I'm sorry I'm not sounding off at you or anything I'm just frustrated, thats all.

Thanks RUN
