This was early in the post-war years when SUB EDITOR interest in aviation was at a peak, and certainly amongst the then younger Lucy Debenham M generation. There was a public enclosure at Northolt on the grass, not far from the threshold of the main runway, from which the landing aircraft could be viewed CONTRIBUTORS at thrillingly close quarters. From memory, these were mostly BEA Vikings. My father Pauline Vahey, Nick Wilcock, John paid for me and my brother to take a short sightseeing flight in the Rapide to view Walker, David Hastings, George London from the air. After that brief and exciting experience, I was hooked! A spell in Done, Malcolm Bird the RAF cadets kept the excitement alive and I eventually gained a Flying Scholarship, undertaken at Elstree Aerodrome in 1953 in the Miles Hawk Trainer Mk III, more PUBLISHED BY popularly known by its RAF name, the Magister. My flying instructor was David Ogilvy. AOPA UK Subsequently, it became difficult to maintain currency, as an apprentice’s weekly 50a Cambridge Street, pay from Handley Page was barely enough to pay for an hour’s flying (2 guineas per London, SW1V 4QQ hour, at the company Flying Club subsidised rates). A move to Bristol, a growing +44 (0)20 7834 5631 family and a developing career meant flying had to take a back seat. It was not until 1989 that I found myself in a position to take up flying again, regaining my PPL on ADVERTISING & SUBSCRIPTIONS Tomahawks (ugh!) at Leavesden Aerodrome. I was on my way there when, by chance, I encountered David at Watford Junction Station. At that time, he was Chairman of AOPA UK AOPA. One thing led to another, and on semi-retirement from academia I was enlisted British Light Aviation Centre into helping AOPA, initially taking on maintenance and engineering problems. The Light 50a Cambridge Street London, SW1V 4QQ Aircraft Maintenance Schedule (LAMS) was a big issue at the time, as the CAA was +44 (0)20 7834 5631 proposing a hugely disproportionate gold-plating exercise. Consultation was not the name of the game at that time, and all the associations had to work hard together to HEAD OF ADVERTISING achieve a sensible and practical outcome. At the same time, there was much to learn David Impey about the many other aspects of General Aviation, and the invitation to take over the +44 (0)7742 605338 chairmanship from David took me completely by surprise. On 01 April 2000, with approval by the Board, I was ensconced in the hot seat! PRINTING The years since then have been extremely fulfilling and a lot of fun, with many Ruddocks rewarding achievements relying on teamwork with volunteer board members and 56 Great Northern Terrace, particularly with the AOPA executive and office staff. One of the most memorable Lincoln LN5 8HL moments was the achievement of getting over 1,500 light aircraft aloft in December +44 (0)1522 529591 2003 for the Grand Centenary Fly-Out to celebrate 100 years of powered flight.

  • Design of Seaplanes
    APPENDIX C3: Design of Seaplanes This appendix is a part of the book General Aviation Aircraft Design: Applied Methods and Procedures by Snorri Gudmundsson, published by Elsevier, Inc. The book is available through various bookstores and online retailers, such as www.elsevier.com, www.amazon.com, and many others. The purpose of the appendices denoted by C1 through C5 is to provide additional information on the design of selected aircraft configurations, beyond what is possible in the main part of Chapter 4, Aircraft Conceptual Layout. Some of the information is intended for the novice engineer, but other is advanced and well beyond what is possible to present in undergraduate design classes. This way, the appendices can serve as a refresher material for the experienced aircraft designer, while introducing new material to the student. Additionally, many helpful design philosophies are presented in the text. Since this appendix is offered online rather than in the actual book, it is possible to revise it regularly and both add to the information and new types of aircraft. The following appendices are offered: C1 – Design of Conventional Aircraft C2 – Design of Canard Aircraft C3 – Design of Seaplanes (this appendix) C4 – Design of Sailplanes C5 – Design of Unusual Configurations Figure C3-1: A Lake LA-250 Renegade, shown here during climb after T-O, is a popular option for amphibious aircraft. The large deflected flap on the horizontal tail is a hydraulically actuated trim tab used for slow speed operations only. It trims out the thrust effect of the highly mounted piston-propeller, improving its handling.
