I respond to aviation topics on r.a.p without (much) respect for originator. Since it was on gliding - the only form of aviating I've done so far - I happened to know a fairly authoritative online reference and posted its link. I hoped more than the OP would get something out of it, who I knew doesn't really fly. Due to my reply I now know there are some differences of opinion on the meaning of that phrase and got a recommendation for a good gliding book. Worked out for me, anyway. :-) |
