80 isn't all that bad for a normal takeoff in a 182. Sea Level Vy for the airplane if I remember is right around 78kts? Been a long time :-) Hmm ... in that case I guess I'm doing okay. I like having airspeed. Hang in there. You're doing fine! Well, my last 767 flight (and most 767 flights before that) ended in tragedy. I've only managed two decent landings, and they were both autolands. It seems that 767s just don't want to descend. However, I just managed a very clean flight in the 182, VFR at night no less. |

You panic quite easily, don't you? Not at all. BTW, panic in the air will kill you just as fast as panic in the water. I'm not prone to panic in the air. |

I have a friend like that, one helluva nice guy, but he has a hard time figuring out fact from fiction, he reads a novel and then believes it was his own personal experience, and that becomes part of his memory of something he actually did. The shrinks likely have a name for that specific syndrome. Of course everyone has an issue with deciding fact from fiction, so I guess it's a matter of degree. Ken |

Your doing a tack with the sail fully stable suckin' energy from the wind, cuttin' water and bouncin' waves off the starboards, that's the sound you hear. Next, you reverse tact and the sail flutters (stalls) until re-acquistion of stability going in nearly the opposite direction and you're still heading into the wind, so the net motion is into the wind. Every pilot should do that. I was on trapeze, *with a good fat old captain on the til, and me being a skinny lively bitch loved jumped to either side of the boat, pulling the sail to max the energy out of the wind. Regards Ken PS: Read about it. On our boat we put the crew to the windward side to keep the mast more vertical. We adjust the sail by pulling on the correct strings, and it depends on the tack as to which is the lee rail going awash. As for stalling a sail -- on a beat there's lots of flow separation on the low pressure side of the sail, but it continues to drive the boat. The luffing at the trailing edge just means there's marginal flow separation there, not at the leading edge. If you want to really see a sail stall, do a jibe, not a come about. If you don't duck you'll learn soon enough why the part sweeping across the cockpit is called a boom. |
