Blanik flying in the US by Bob McKellar
I have asked to check out a rumor that there is an L-13 Blanik flying legally in the US. That doesn't sound right to me, as I think I would have heard of such a thing from verifiable source. Has anybody else heard such a rumor? Bob McKellar

Best PDA/PNA for FLARM display? by Frank Paynter[_2_]
I flew with a portable PowerFLARM at the Uvalde pre-worlds, and I have a 'brick' unit on order for delivery sometime this fall/winter. As I wait for delivery, I am contemplating how to integrate it into my current instrumentation setup. One possibility I am considering is to not use the brick's...

SAFETY ALERT by JJ Sinclair[_2_]
I regularly get safety alerts (bulletins, notices) from the FAA and AOPA, but I never get one from the SSA. I went digging to see if the SSA had a similar program. I went to SSA home page, then to SSA Partners..........Hmm, safety isn't a primary concern of the SSA and is relegated to a soaring...

First hand experience with GPS Jamming by Steve Leonard[_2_]
Got my first experience with GPS Jamming. Apparently, lots of truckers on I-35 near the Kansas-Oklahoma border were jamming today. I would go from 8 satellites showing on my GPS Nav Display (Cambridge Model 20 GPS) to none, lost distance to turnpoint, lost ground track, lost bearing to turnpoint...

LS-8 parts question (securing tailplane) by Tuno
(Pardon my ignorance of the proper parts nomenclature ...) There is a thumb wheel used to secure the tailplane (same for the wing tips), and a blade screwdriver is used to tighten and loosen the wheel after the fingers have done what they can. Yesterday while derigging I made a half turn or so of...

Checklists by Bill D
Any time this topic comes up the discussion is about the contents of the list. This post is about the physical attributes of a glider checklist. No matter what items are on a checklist, it doesn't matter if you can't find it when you need it. It doesn't matter if the type is too small to read. ...

addition to preflight checklist by shkdriver
I have a vivid memory of my instructor making a statement "Don't kill us today" He made this statement as I was finishing my verbally announced prelaunch checklist. At the time It did not seem to be a statement of my lack of skill, but rather a directive for my mental attitude. I think the...

Pilot Mindsets and Enhanced Safety by BobW
Most U.S. glider pilots know of Tom Knauff, creator and long-time proprietor of the well-known Ridge Soaring Gliderport in Pennsylvania. Probably fewer are aware he has an intermittent electronic newsletter, which has as its most persistent theme the utterly boring, sometimes irritating, theme...

Hi, A customer has asked me whether or not it is legal to install and use a non-FAA-approved radio such as the XCOM 760 or FlightLine FL-760 in a type certificated glider. XCOM's statement on the subject is copied below. Some aircraft mechanics and avionics shops seem OK with installing those...
