Is Glideplan still relevant? by
Matt Herron Jr.
Given the level of moving map sophistication in the cockpit these days I am wondering what use, if any, Glideplan is to the soaring pilot. If you use it, where does it add value for you? Safety? training? XC planning or in flight navigation? Competition? Any stories o share?
Thanks,
Matt...

Externally mounted GoPros okay? by
Jim Lewis[_2_]
I have seen some wonderful videos made with GoPros stuck on the outside of gliders. Does the FAA have anything to say about the legality of such externally mounted cameras on aircraft certificated as other than experimental?

Stalking the elusive Type Certificate by
Pat Russell[_2_]
I have some questions about the FAA Type Certificate (TC). My questions are not about the Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS). Typically, the TCDS refers to the TC.
I have never seen a TC.
Here are my questions:
1. What does a TC look like?
2. Are copies of the TC available to the public?
3. Is...

gliders to love/hate by
John Firth[_4_]
As this is the trivia season, here are recollections.
Among the 50 plus types I have flown, the worst are the 2-22 , the
Pratt-Read and probably the Tutor in which
I soloed plus the Kirby Kite II; hard to remember from 55 years ago.
Designs have improved so much that it is hard to rate the...

this a try.
Connect up a PC to the CAI using the serial cable, configure Hyperterm or
your favorite terminal emulator, you just need ascii capabilities.
Get to a command prompt, I think it is just hitting escape and type...

ClearNav Vario and XCSoar by
Dan Marotta
I'm trading in my CAI-302 for a ClearNav XC vario. Looking at the setup
screen in XCSoar, there's no listed driver for the CNv vario. The XCSoar
Manual also says nothing about the CNv vario though it states that it
will work with any vario which outputs NMEA data. Both my Android phone
and my...

Std. Libelle Rigging Kit by
Roger Fowler[_3_]
I have a homemade set of Std. Libelle rigging aids. I believe one person
can assemble using them. I am willing to let them go to a good home for
the cost of shipping. (Might be expensive - some of the parts are big.)
Otherwise they go to the dump.

Thanks,
