"Joy of Soaring" Book by
Carl B
I have just heard that the SSA is no longer going to supply "The Joy
of Soaring". This is the book that I have recommended to ab initio
students and it has been well accepted. What are other instructors
recommending to their ab initio students? Thanks.

"landing zone" airspace for contest to IGC rules in US by
[email protected]
I am working on the turnpoint file for a contest in the US that will be run to IGC rules instead of US/SSA rules. I could use some help with this request.
"The Landing Zone must show up in the AirSpace file, so people don't have to guess where it is, and the limit of it is officially defined....

"N" on Constant Pressure Charts by
Jim[_33_]
I have spent a few days on Google looking for a description of what "N" means on Constant Pressure Charts.
The best I have found is that "N" identifies an area of little or no vorticity. Is this right?

"open source" video project for glider ratings by
thing73[_2_]
Wouldn't it be nice to collectively (amongst all the soaring clubs in
the country) to develop a soaring curriculum aimed at passing the FAA
glider rating writtens (much like King Schools do now for FAA airplane/
helicopter ratings)? We could assign topics to different clubs and
post them to you...

"Outlandings" discussion by
[email protected]
So, what do you call an outlanding? If you land at an established
airport/airfield is this an "Outlanding"? Or is it an uncompleted
flight into an airport. I have read a lot of club SOP's that recommend
a "planned" outlanding into an airport as training for a real
outlanding! Not the same thing. Is...

broke up in flight Oct 18. The pilot parachuted safely.
I just finished talking to Greg Cole, designer of the SparrowHawk. The
program manager from MSU visited him Monday to discuss the data from the
flight and pictures of...

"Platoon" instructing versus dedicated... by
S. Murry
Noel wrote (in another thread, which I will not hijack):
"Instead I'll take on ~2 students at a time and focus on
*making pilots* out of them, before taking on any more."
Noel, thanks for bringing this up. I've been thinking about this, too.
Our club uses the "platoon" system. That is just as...

"Selling" Safety by
BobW
A newsgroup may well be one of the worst imaginable venues for 'selling
safety' (other than Twitter, of course...) but the recent threads focusing on
it set me to musing. Don't look for any pithy snippets of panacea wisdom in
what follows, but if some of it gets a reader or two to cogitating on...

"Soaring, Beyond The Basics" By Dale Masters by
Jim Hultman
A winter reading suggestion:
I've just finished "Soaring, Beyond The Basics" by Dale Masters &
enthusiastically recommend it. It's all about developing airmanship,
sensitivity to the terrain & interpreting clues to lift. Dale's dry humor &
clear writing style make this book an enjoyable page turner...

"Sound" request of vario designers, manufactures, and dealers. by
Ben[_4_]
In 30 something years, I have yet to hear a "pleasing" audio. Why
designers and manufactures insist on duplicating sounds heard in, God
forbid, a Level 1 trauma ER is beyond me. Audios should enhance your
soaring day and not spoil it with rude and irritating responses.
Having been tortured by the...

I am a flight enthusiast who has a penchant for lifting bodies. I
don't know if you are familiar with "The Boy that Soared with
Condors" but it came out in 1967 on The Wonderful world of Disney.

"University" by

Any "organization" can call themselves a University and offer any
