Spitfire Mk.Vb Handling Notes

• Takeoff (Rwy 09): Flaps T-OFF, advance throttle smoothly, hold slight right/left rudder to counter Merlin propwash & torque, rotate cleanly at 90 kt (46 m/s), retract gear (G) & flaps (F).
• Combat & Stall: Critical AoA is 16°. Heavy airframe buffet warns of impending wing-drop & spin. Unload the stick immediately to recover energy; sustained >6G causes greyout & G-LOC.
• Landing: Lower gear & full flaps below 145 kt, fly final at 95–100 kt (50 m/s), flare gently over threshold, hold back-stick on rollout while braking (B).
