Spins and Spiral Dives
Just so I don't completely forget everything I am learning, I decided to review Lari's ground brief by reading my FTM and watching the relevant Video's from my Harv's Air online course. If I weren't such a lazy old slug, I'd make a Venn Diagram or a nice chart or something, but... NAH!! Anyway, here's an overview:

Spiral Dives - steep turn where nose is allowed to drop - rapidly descending airspeed - only instructor should enter (NO SOLO practise!) - to recover: power to idle, level the wings, ease out of the dive (should be three distinct movements) Vera's Note: Increased G's kind of feel good!! :D YouTube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJDeRuVabaI |
Saw the sun this morning (Dec 31) but only briefly. Now it's overcast again, so it wil be a music and family day, and we'll hope for some clear, flight-friendly skies on Sunday.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
