  • Unusual Attitudes and the Aerodynamics of Maneuvering Flight Author’S Note to Flightlab Students
    Unusual Attitudes and the Aerodynamics of Maneuvering Flight Author’s Note to Flightlab Students The collection of documents assembled here, under the general title “Unusual Attitudes and the Aerodynamics of Maneuvering Flight,” covers a lot of ground. That’s because unusual-attitude training is the perfect occasion for aerodynamics training, and in turn depends on aerodynamics training for success. I don’t expect a pilot new to the subject to absorb everything here in one gulp. That’s not necessary; in fact, it would be beyond the call of duty for most—aspiring test pilots aside. But do give the contents a quick initial pass, if only to get the measure of what’s available and how it’s organized. Your flights will be more productive if you know where to go in the texts for additional background. Before we fly together, I suggest that you read the section called “Axes and Derivatives.” This will introduce you to the concept of the velocity vector and to the basic aircraft response modes. If you pick up a head of steam, go on to read “Two-Dimensional Aerodynamics.” This is mostly about how pressure patterns form over the surface of a wing during the generation of lift, and begins to suggest how changes in those patterns, visible to us through our wing tufts, affect control. If you catch any typos, or statements that you think are either unclear or simply preposterous, please let me know. Thanks.

  • September Meeting Notes
    October 2009 20 Issue 10 September Meeting Notes Hey everybody. Inside this issue: George started off the meeting with a report on the CP event. There were not Meeting Minutes many spectators (the weather was bad that day), but there were 30 registered pilots, so that was good. The demos were excellent and so was the BBQ. The bottom line Lunch Hour was a $5862 donation for United Cerebral Palsy of Colorado. This included some cor- Pitts Special porate sponsors (Jeppesen $2k, Aeroworks $1.5k, the catering company $800, Dex, etc.) There were 25 MAS members who volunteered at the event. Thanks to all of you. Without you, the event would have a been a failure. In addition to your time, the club donated the fees for the extra Porta-potty and also all the work for getting the field looking great. On September 19th, MAS was hosted by Aeroworks at their Aurora headquar- ters. Aeroworks gave members a tour of the facility and showed them what planes are being developed. Our esteemed leader Hank won himself an electric plane in a draw- ing. Just to let all Adams County voters know, one of our members, Mark Nicastle, will be running for Sheriff in the 2010 election. Not to sway any votes, but Mark's a good guy and has done a lot for the club over the years. The October meeting is when we elect officers for 2010. We need volun- teers! (show up and vote/volunteer now is your chance to change things you don't like) Upcoming meetings and events Hank and Ron will not be staying on as President and VP, so we need some Meeting Oct 22 new people for the jobs.

On the FAA power commercial pilots test a Chandelle is defined as a maximum performance climbing turn through degrees while maintaining a constant turn rate. Certain features will not work without it. This is a detailed explanation on how to properly execute a Hammerhead to the IAC competition judging standard. We will provide the information necessary for your agent to see to it. Out of the three, the spin is the most risky because it requires the most altitude to recover from; the Immelmann turn and Split-S are fairly basic maneuvers that don't require much airspace. The plane has to maintain a constant roll rate, constant turn rate and constant altitude throughout the rolling turn.
