  • 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.

    The PwC/Air New Zealand application for Aeroplane Pilot to be included on the Immediate Skills Shortage list Submission by GAA The General Aviation Advocacy Group of New Zealand August 9 2013 1 Contents Summary of the GAA position Part 1 - Rebuttal of Air New Zealand's Supporting Information List of New Zealand Air Carriers Part 2 - In pursuit of a career in aviation Evidence and opinion from co-submitters Pilot data from the GAA survey Background to the lead submitter List of co-submitters Australian ATSB Pilot Experience Study 2013 Acknowledgements 2 Summary of the GAA position This submission by the General Aviation Advocacy Group of New Zealand to the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment opposes the application by PricewaterhouseCoopers, on behalf of Air New Zealand, to have “Aeroplane Pilot” added to the ESID lists and requests preservation of the status quo. GAA and its supporters reject the applicants' claim that “The New Zealand Aviation industry is experiencing a pilot shortage of significant proportions” In this submission, we seek to establish that the application must be rejected because it does not meet the criteria, and no such skills shortage has been proved. For the application to succeed, it must meet several important criteria, which PwC and Air New Zealand have failed to do. They must show, among other things, that: The shortage is not employer-specific There is evidence of employers having difficulty employing staff (note our emphasis on the plural) The shortage must be across all geographic regions in New Zealand It must be a current shortage, not an anticipated one There must be an ongoing and sustained (absolute) shortage, both globally and in New Zealand.
