Problem is when you drive to 1500 feet you are doing so as a slow rate. When you're in a plane you hit 1500 pretty quickly. Then you do a stall maneuver drop down to 1000 ish then climb back up and do this over and over you are bouncing up and down quite quickly and this is going to be more cause for concern than a simple flight where you gain altitude, stay there then descend and land. The situation he's talking about isn't a standard flight. It's a hell of a lot more risky.
Not in a Cessna 172. In truth, I really don't see this flight as being a physiological problem.Problem is when you drive to 1500 feet you are doing so as a slow rate. When you're in a plane you hit 1500 pretty quickly.

Why the heck would I be doing STALLS?? How in the world did you come to that conclusion?? NOWHERE did I even remotely indicate that id be doing that. Shaking my head.......
I would simply climb at 200 to 300 fpm from SL to 1000 to 1500' (so yes, I DO have control over my ascent rate), fly straight and level there and then descend for a normal landing.
Sheesh.........Have you ever even flown anything other than a kite??

My sincere apology. I don't re-read the entire thread every single time there is an answer or reply from someone. Somehow that got mixed in there (stalls) and simply went from there. A mistake. As far as your kite comment though you'd do best to go fly one yourself if you're going to just be rude. I made a mistake and I admit that. [/the end]
