I just read the link to the FAA ruling on the Cal City thread and am wondering what the current status is. Larry NCSA

The SSA form wants me to check a box saying "File security checked using proper software". How on earth would I go about doing that for a Nano flight recorder? FWIW, I downloaded the pilot's file from the Nano, looked at it on SeeYou and it all seems fine to me. Thanks, Larry

A student landed out just short of our airport in our club's 1-26 last Saturday. No damage, no injuries, glider readily returned to it's tiedown. Apparently, the airport manager told his bosses about it and they chewed him out for not immediately reporting the landout to NTSB. The story goes on...

I enjoyed 3 afternoons soaring with Burt Compton last weekend. I usually fly in Indiana. The trip is worth the travel. Unusual scenery. Remarkable soaring conditions. Burt and Kathie were wonderful hosts. The flying tips and safety pointers coming from the back seat are very helpful. The best part...

Hello, Does anyone have details on the cable used to transfer a frequency database from a PC Com port to a filser ATR600 radio? This cable is mentioned in the manual, but the actual wiring diagram seems to be missing.. Thanks, Lars Peder Denmark

Here we go again.. As expected, DG Flugzeugbau is now trying to discover/invent deficiencies in the older gliders, in an attempt to intimidate the owners into signing the "Service Contract". There are now Technical Notes for older LS gliders about modifying the canopy jettison mechanism. DG has...

OK, here we go, just to exite trolls, believers, non-believers, math fereaks, the lot: Off course wet pullups go higher. In the end, a pullup is conversion from kinetic energy (speed) to potential energy (altitude). Soaring is all about trading one of these for the other. Picture two identical...

It seems to be an easy way to add Flarm without the hassle of rewiring and adding yet another box to the panel. Any experiences and pros/cons out there? Reliability? Compatibility with...

Dear RAS'ers: This is a warning. Lately, there has been a bitter personal feud between a small handful of persons in the management of the Danish Soaring Society (DSvU), and a few fellow pilots. It seems that no one is able to explain exactly what they are arguing about, but this has not...

I don't know what the Germans are up to on their homepage www.segelflug.de, but apparently some sort of competition for the future pictogram for off-field landings. The EU-version : http://www.segelflug.de/images/2004/5gruenewiese2004.gif The US-version :...
