On my Salto it was the vario pointer that waved
around when the flow breakaway from the wing
roots impinged on the TE probe aft of the canopy.
The ASI was useless when spinning or sideslipping
also in that glider. As the brakes were weak
sideslipping was sometimes necessary as an

You probably could do something very easily for modern non-flapped gliders.
AoA indicators have been around for a long time. You could have three critical
angles annotated on the device display: stall, climb and cruise. Flapped
gliders would need to have a method of knowing what the flap defl
Good point, I'll get to that later today.
The interesting thing about the report is the differences between what the
factory found and wrote up in the flight manual and what the USAF found.

The report reminds us how useless the ASI is during spins. You are
better off judging speed using the noise levels assessed by your ears.
Why hasn't some instrument maker built a better mousetrap than the one
we have ?

Hi James
Santa was still distressed about this issue when he arrived at my place.
Good news though! Budgetary constraints have been swept aside and Cold
Weather Gear is being added to the CASA closet (this has been welcomed by

Hi Paul,
Detailed response sent to your personal email address just now.

Hi Daryl
Would you mind explaining why? This is a genuine inquiry as my club is
about to take a delivery of one.

The thing that causes a wing to stall (and subsequently perhaps to
spin) is that it meets the air at greater than the stalling angle.

Sorry for this long response but I am passionate about this issue and some
clarifications are necessary.
It is only true that most spins can be prevented if 1.5Vs is maintained. A
mishandled entry of more than 1 "G" steady is possible at much higher
speeds. (E.g. Mishandling and Snap rolls)
