Re: [Aus-soaring] Forward Slips
Folks, Can i just throw in some information that came my way regarding side slipping some powered aircraft starting with a C. The rear wing attach has no carry through in the fuselage, sideslipping these aircraft in the past has resulted in failure of the fuselage side wall, flap, trailing spar and rear attach point. Ag pilots first started having these issues but it has a flow on affect, the damage could be there but not visible until even a gentle slip sets it off. Please if considering this manoeuvre just check that it is in the flight manual of the type and maybe also ask experienced folk their opinion. The C 100 series aircraft have issues with electrolysis on the front attach and soft rear attach points on the wings, all fine if you and your LAME are aware of it and appropriately maintain them to mitigate the danger. Apparently there is no AD due to validation? you cant ask someone who had it happen can you. The above failures scared the hell out of me when i heard it, due to the fact we used to descend using a spiralling slip to not shock cool the engine and loose heaps of height per launch. needless to say we don't operate like this any more. Made that aircraft not quite as economical after that.

[Aus-soaring] Being assertive (CRM)
>And you learned not to fly with somebody more stupid/careless/braver than you >regardless of their qualifications. I had the opportunity of flying with a very experienced and respected glider pilot (the pilot had also worked as a commercial pilot, he had 10,000's of hours in gliders and powered a/c). The pilot was P1. I became quite concerned during late final approach (it was a gusty day, we had been ridge flying), when we were coming in very low over the fence, with not much airspeed or energy either. We had plenty of height on approach, so scraping back to the field wasn't an issue. There was aggressive use of airbrakes on late final to effect a short field approach. We were less than 50ft over obstacles, no allowance for the gust factor was used. Given the conditions, there wasn't any room for error. If the pilot had been a student, I would have demanded a check ride. I didn't say anything at the time (regrettably). However my respect for this pilots ability was slightly lessened despite the pilot's vast experience. ___ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
