Ff 89/6 Copy
$3 vol libre • free flight 6/89 Dec - Jan POTPOURRI SAC was informed by Sport Canada on the 10th of July that we are not eligible for funding for 1989-90 and until further notice. Thus we are now totally on our own. The average yearly grant from 1979 to 1988 in 1989 dollars was $14,000, or $16 per person. Perhaps it’s a good thing as planning in an atmosphere of doubt is not conducive to good health and efficient use of funds. The cutback was not unexpected and steps were taken early on to ease the effects of this loss of revenue. Imaginative planning in our small store and a good response from our members through the use of the “Soaring Stuff” inserts resulted in in- creased sales. We will also receive higher than projected invest- ment income essentially due to careful cash management and short-term interest rates, which have remained higher for longer than generally expected. In addition, a small gain in projected receipts from an unexpected increase in membership – now at 1423 – which is the first time since 1982 that we have passed 1400. Total expenditures should come in well below budget projection, primarily as a result of scaling back meetings and travel expenditures. On balance it seems fair to say that a combination of some tight fistedness on the expenditure side and a bit of luck on the revenue side will leave SAC in a financially stronger position than was expected at the beginning of the season, despite the cutting off of govern- ment funding. -

Slow flight should be practiced from straight flight requires a certain minimum airspeed. This glides, straight-and-level flight, and from medium critical airspeed depends on certain factors, such as banked gliding and level flight turns. Slow flight at gross weight, load factors, and existing density altitude. approach speeds should include slowing the airplane The minimum speed below which further controlled smoothly and promptly from cruising to approach flight is impossible is called the stalling speed. An speeds without changes in altitude or heading, and important feature of pilot training is the development determining and using appropriate power and trim of the ability to estimate the margin of safety above the settings. Slow flight at approach speed should also stalling speed. Also, the ability to determine the include configuration changes, such as landing gear characteristic responses of any airplane at different and flaps, while maintaining heading and altitude. airspeeds is of great importance to the pilot. The student pilot, therefore, must develop this awareness in FLIGHT AT MINIMUM CONTROLLABLE order to safely avoid stalls and to operate an airplane AIRSPEED This maneuver demonstrates the flight characteristics correctly and safely at slow airspeeds. and degree of controllability of the airplane at its minimum flying speed. By definition, the term “flight SLOW FLIGHT at minimum controllable airspeed” means a speed at Slow flight could be thought of, by some, as a speed which any further increase in angle of attack or load that is less than cruise. -
Maneuver Descriptions
2017-2018 Senior Pattern Association Section III Maneuver Descriptions NOTE: MANEUVER DESCRIPTIONS THAT FOLLOW ARE TAKEN VERBATIM FROM THE APPROPRIATE AMA RULE BOOKS FROM WHICH THE MANEUVERS WERE TAKEN. THE ONE EXCEPTION IS FOR THE SQUARE HORIZONTAL EIGHT, FOR WHICH EVERY APPEARANCE IN THE AMA RULE BOOK ENDED AS AN INCOMPLETE DESCRIPTION. THE SPA BOARD HAS CREATED WHAT WE THINK WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE ENDING, WHICH IS SHOWN ON PAGE 34 IN ITALICS. Anatomy of an SPA Maneuver by Phil Spelt, SPA 177, AMA 1294 SPA pilots are flying what is called “Precision Aerobatics,” in the official AMA publications” -- the old-time way (pre turnaround). The emphasis in that name is on the word “Precision.” That means pilots are supposed to display precise control of their aircraft in front of the judges. This precision should, ideally, be shown from the moment the plane is placed on the runway until it stops at the end of the landing rollout. Technically, the judges are only supposed to “judge” during the actual maneuvers, but they will notice either wild or tame turnarounds – whether deliberately or accidentally. An SPA maneuver consists of five sections, which can be viewed as an onion sliced through the middle vertically – so there are 2 pairs of layers, or parts, surrounding the actual maneuver in the center, as illustrated. The outer pair (sections 1 and 5) comprises the “free flight” area, which is used to turn the aircraft around and get it lined up to enter the next maneuver. Most pilots use a Split-S maneuver for the turnaround, thus maintaining the track of the plane at the distance from the runway at which the maneuvers are performed.
