Hi, I hear a lot about pitch sensitivity. Can that mean more than one
thing? For example, it seems it could mean: 1. A glider in which smaller than typical stick movements are needed for pitch control 2. A glider in which the pitch stability is less, in that when perturbed from trimmed level flight the number of pitch oscillations is large before returning to level flight (or not return at all). 3. A glider in which the pitch stability is fine, but the time to respond to correction is long, so the pilot overcorrects to cause PIO. .... or does it always mean #2? Are all-flying tails always pitch sensitive (definition #2), or is it a combination of the all-flying tail with something else? Does even an experienced pilot have to live with more risk in a pitch sensitive glider, or is the process of getting used to it that is more risky? Thanks |
