He took me up in the Pitts Model 12 a few years ago – a beast of an airplane with a ra- dial engine that turns “the wrong way.” I give him a ride in my Cirrus. And I was in his Piper Cub for a landing on a moving pickup truck. In late 2007, I decided it was time to get a bit more serious about aerobatic flight. And about that time, Greg (an Aerobatic Competency Evaluator, or ACE) became the 14th person certified by the National Association of Flight Instructors as Master CFI-Aerobatic. We ar- ranged a date, and headed to Ashville, Alabama on November 13. A little over three years ago, Greg and spouse Cora began con- struction of Sky Country Lodge – a bed-and-breakfast flight school located on an isolated grass strip near Birmingham. The lodge is a beautiful open-concept design, with two private bedrooms with baths for Greg’s typical workload of two students at a time. The hangar houses Greg’s 1946 Piper Cub (used in his comedy act) and nearly-new Super Decathlon, in which he teaches. My early aero- batic experience was in the same make and model.

  • 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.

    Safety Safe Winch Launching Quiz. As many pilots will be aware, there are a number of safe winch launching education resources at https://www.gliding.co.uk/safewinchlaunching. These include the safe winch launching quiz that allows pilots of all experience to test their own knowledge on this important topic. Some clubs now include the quiz as a required element of winch launch training, as listed on the BGA pilot training progress card at https://members.gliding.co.uk/library/pilot-training/bga-training-card/. Why not test your knowledge today? Airspace Leeds Bradford ACP. Leeds Bradford Airport is consulting on an airspace change proposal. Details are available at http://www.leedsbradfordairport.co.uk/about-the-airport/airspace- change-proposal-consultation. The consultation closes on Friday 6th October 2017. A regional gliding club/BGA response is being developed and we expect to be able to offer guidance on the key issues by the end of August. Once that guidance is available, we will be encouraging individual club responses and individual pilot responses. If you believe that you will be impacted by the proposed changes, please be prepared to respond. RA(T) Airspace File. George Knight and Alan Sparrow have modified the ASSelect program so that it now includes RA(T)s. RA(T)s are currently designated in ASSelect as LoAs but this will be changed in due course.
