Basic training and later cross country gliding is not as half as bad. Aerobatics (no matter if powered or in gliders is vomit inducing). As you can see here it is mostly fairly smooth. There are of course days where it is very choppy. But beware in powered airplanes you are hammering straight through thermals at higher speeds that bangs you around much worse. Do not believe such tales from obviously non glider pilots, but try it yourseff. Many clubs offer introduction courses for a couple of weeks to check out if it is for you or not with no further obligations when you decide to walk away after.

1:52 The Flarm knows where it is. It knows that, by subtracting, where it is, from where it isnt. If it is, where it isn't but is, where it isnt is, it can deduct where it isnt, from where it isnt is. Or so. :)))

@znek4288 Жыл бұрын
This contains numerous mistakes. Here's mine. The flarm knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is - whichever is greater - it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviation to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position that it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is is now the position that it wasn't, and if follows that the position that it was is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation. The variation being the difference between where the flarm is and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the flarm must also know where it was. The flarm guidance computer scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information that the flarm has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it know where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice versa. And by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

Lov has been fully repaired and is back flying after it’s unfortunate landing incident. A low hours solo pilot got into a situation with pilot induced oscillation upon landing and ran out of energy causing a heavy landing. It did though what a ASK-21 is designed to do and that is protect the pilots when it doesn’t all go to plan.

@flyingwithlaura36802 жыл бұрын
I suppose every airport is different however because QNH is widely used , if you have to deviate from the circuit for any reason or even exit the TMA then you’re already on the QNH otherwise if you’re on the QFE you would need to calculate the QNH , but it’s a good question , as far as the exams , I’ve done all my exams however I’m having to redo all of them as you have 2 years from your last exam to get your licence and I’m approaching the month I did my last exam 2 years ago and it’s not likely I’ll get my licence by august , which I don’t mind really

You never know…your CFI may think you’re good enough. I’ve just pushed 71 and recently passed all PPL exams and got FROTL. We use QFE on circuits which is useful … we are 298’ above MSL. When I go across country we get QNH. Up until recently we only had a short runway so lots of cross wind experiences during landings…one or two cablamo’s! I’m hoping to get my PPL this summer. Used to fly to Glasgow auditing bank…you’re out in Paisley? Many a cross wind white knuckle landing when working in Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Good luck Laura…not enough female pilots.
