Is "crabbing" a maneuver?

Bill Dean, The tone of the spin discussion has taken a rather harsh turn, lately. I may be responsible for some of it, because I allowad myself to be sucked into a discussion of gun control, socialized medicine, slavery and Oh yes, spins. The harsh tone was not my intention and my posts have been...

Hello all, I am a student glider pilot (3 Hrs)and wanted to know what specific parts of the FAR's do I need to study? I have the FAR AIM book. Thanks Craig

Interesting article. Too bad (for US pilots) it uses the "despised in the US" rotax engine. But this is a real favorite in Europe, I'm told. CFR 61.69(a)(1) requires tow pilots to "Holds at least a private pilot certificate with a category rating for powered aircraft." Perhaps the last 7 words...

Well done Soar Point The fact that he comes out with his points just once in a while, makes it very interesting! BUT.......for us who could not make it to the Convention, could we have some reports, stories. What gliders were on the floor, Talks, lectures, items?

This is a collection of flights submitted by the pilots on an honour basis. Up to four flights count for the standings.p It can be accessed at a href="http://acro.harvard.edu//LEAGUE/ras_league.html"http://acro.harvard.edu//LEAGUE/ras_league.html/ap Last-modified: Mon, 12 Jan 2004 06:15:17...

Serious question. I've spoken to several pilots regarding the handling characteristics of the 1-34, and the general comment was that the Rudder could have been a bit more effective. My question is, Has anyone tried to modify the rudder to be more effective? What would be the result of adding a...

Trial registration for flyWithCE Navigator Winter trial period is over. Response has been great and I would like to thank you for the participation. Because of that I decided to enable free testing of the program in the future. Now you can get the time limited registration key on the Registration...

We got 20 contestants signed up with a maximum of 40, due to limited parking on the east side. Preferential cut off date, 7 April. BTW, Parowan is full (50) with 19 that won't get in. Come on over to Minden, but do it before we fill up also. No sports class, therefore NO reverse seeding at Minden....

Ok, I've just about read enough 'across the pond' flak! So here's a serious question: I had a look at http://gliding.hoppenrath.com/index_en.htm the Dune Running mpeg and found it fantastic. But.

Trying to find the following information and an FAI Sporting Code reference for the following: 1) The minimum separation between turnpoints on a 3-turn task 2) Maximum distance between start and finish on a closed circuit FAI task (O&R or Triangle) Thanks!

The discussion of wearing parachutes is an interesting one. Parachutes are cheap insurance and, when one is needed, nothing else will quite do the job. So, why aren't they universally worn? In a word, weight. The available two seaters, for the most part, have weight limitations that almost...

We are getting close to getting our first winch operation going and need to develop some Ops and Procedures. I hate starting with a "blank page" Anybody have some Ops and Procedures to send my way to get started? Regards, Frank My return address is slightly modified to reduce SPAM.

I can't find anything in my books about how to make a 90 degree turn (e.g., downwind to base) while in a full slip, but maybe that's because it's so obvious. (Given my limited # hours, just because something seems obvious to me doesn't mean I'm not going to check it out.) I figure I'll turn with...
