    CORBEN COURIER Published for the members of the Experimental Aircraft Association, Chapter 93, Madison, Wisconsin September 2007 The Chapter 93 monthly meeting will be held at 7:00, Thursday, September 20, at the Chapter clubroom, Blackhawk Field, Cottage Grove, WI. Member Jack Jerred will tell us a little bit about his life and of some of his experiences during the time he was in the military during WW II. We want to hear more about the lives of our members and haven’t had this kind of presentation since Neil Robinson so interestingly told us about himself. THE GIMLI GLIDER INCIDENT From an article published in Soaring Magazine by Wade H. Nelson If a Boeing 767 runs out of fuel at 41,000 feet, what do you have? Answer: A 132-ton glider with a sink rate of more than 2,000 feet-per-minute and marginally enough hydraulic pressure to control the ailerons, elevator, and rudder. Put veteran pilots Bob Pearson and cool-as-a-cucumber Maurice Quintal in the cockpit and you’ve got the unbelievable but true story of Air Canada Flight 143, known ever since as the Gimli Glider. Flight 143’s problems began on the ground in Montreal. A computer known as the Fuel Quantity Information System Processor manages the entire 767 fuel loading process. The FQIS controls all of the fuel pumps and drives all the 767’s fuel gauges. Little is left for crew and refuelers to do but hook up the hoses and dial in the desired fuel load. But the FQIS was not working properly on Flight 143.

  • 1 Introduction What Is Numeracy? What Makes a Person Numerate?
    Section 1 Introduction 1 1 Introduction What is numeracy? What makes a person numerate? In broadest terms, numeracy (or numeric literacy or quantitative liter- acy) can be viewed as a combination of specific knowledge and skills, which are needed (but do not suffice) to function in the modern world. What other skills, apart from numeracy, do we need to posses? For instance, social intelligence, cross-cultural competency, and new-media literacy. Numeracy involves reasoning from, and about, numeric information (data), which can be presented in a variety of ways (such as numeric, graphic, narrative, visual, and dynamic forms). Inspired in part by questions we routinely ask in mathematics (What is this? Why is this true? How do we know?), we expand numeracy to include critical, evidence-supported thinking, common sense, and logical reasoning in situations and/or contexts that do not explicitly nor implicitly involve numbers or quantitative information. (Examples follow.) In our conceptualization of numeracy, and for the purpose of this course, a numerate person is assumed to be a university student, rather than a general member of our society. (One reason lies in the fact that we must make certain assumptions about the background, mathematical and otherwise.) To make this concept of numeracy more transparent, we now illustrate its aspects in several examples (which are in no way an exhaustive). In the article After 7,500% rally, cryptocurrency founder sells his coins pub- lished in the Globe and Mail, on 20 December 2017, we read “Litecoin dropped about 4 per cent to $ 319 at 1:02 p.m.

I dedicate it to her with my deepest love and gratitude. Thank you for everything, Darling. Andrew Leslie Cole Page i Page ii HOW THIS BOOK CAME ABOUT This project started with a posting for BajanThings.com: “F/O Errol Walton Barrow, Navigator RAF World War II and Prime Minister of Barbados” published in March 2019. Following publication, Melissa Whitney Nelson posted a comment on a Facebook group: Old Time Photos Barbados. She commented that back in 2010 while visiting the UK with her son “she had a chance meeting with a lovely old gentleman with very white hair” at what turned out to be St. Nicolas Church, Great Bookham, Surrey. Following some detective work that “lovely old gentleman with very white hair” was Andrew Leslie Cole; Errol Barrow’s pilot in 88 Squadron 2nd Tactical Air Force (TAF) during World War II. Might Andrew Cole still be alive? Sadly he had died in December 2017. “The Beautiful Blonde in the Bank” is Andrew Cole’s legacy; an unpublished book he wrote in 2001 on his time in the RAF during World War II and flying post war.

  • Gimli Glider from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Software Disasters Gimli Glider From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Gimli Glider aircraft taxiing at San Francisco International Airport in 1985 Air Canada Flight 143 was a Canadian scheduled domestic passenger flight between Montreal and Edmonton that ran out of fuel on July 23, 1983, at an altitude of 41,000 feet (12,000 m), midway through the flight. The Boeing 767 glided to an emergency landing at a former Royal Canadian Air Force base in Gimli, Manitoba, that had been turned into a motor racing track. This unusual aviation incident earned the aircraft the nickname "Gimli Glider".[1] The subsequent investigation revealed that a combination of company failures, human errors and confusion over unit measures had led to the aircraft being refuelled with insufficient fuel for the planned flight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider At the time of the incident, Canada's aviation sector was in the process of converting to the metric system. As part of this process, the new 767s being acquired by Air Canada were the first to be calibrated for metric units (litres and kilograms) instead of Imperial units (gallons and pounds). All other aircraft of the company were still operating with Imperial units. For the trip to Edmonton, the pilot calculated a fuel requirement of 22,300 kilograms (49,200 lb). A floatstick check indicated that there were 7,682 litres (1,690 imp gal; 2,029 US gal) already in the tanks. To calculate how much more fuel had to be added, the crew needed to convert the volume (litres) in the tanks to a mass (kilograms), subtract that figure from 22,300 kg and convert the result back into a volume.
