A basic rule for the exclusion of turning, even while crop dusting, at
a low altitude is the disorientation effect. Causing a lowering of the altitude by confusion, and a likely wing tip crash. Very deadly affair. So, the idea of practicing the low altitude turn is a real stunt flight idea. Here is the real method of allowing the student to practice after an introduction. Approach the barn from corn height. Set the altimeter. Initiate the turn at about the right angle of bank. Stare at the rate indicator and the altiemter to ensure only an upward deflection. Stare at the space from the barn to circle. *****And always bailout of the stunt, for any seen downward rate indicator deflection********** A bailout is immediate pulling upward and wings leveling gain of altitude. A combination of IFR and VFR stunt. A wind of maybe 10 knots is my limit. And altitudes of 10 feet are possible on the rate indicator!!!!!! Believe it or not!!!! Except this is how movie stunt pilots get killed. A low level biplane flight with proper tree and barn circling is beautiful to watch, but extremely dangerous. I like to warn that it is like driving a car down the highway with your face looking at the side of the road. All looking out of the sides of the eyes to stay on the highway!!! Mr. Tibet movie stunt pilot is the example I remember, so be carfeul of having stunt coordination like a mafiaoso. Now I need a job. 100/hour is my rate. Douglas Eagleson Gaithersburg, MD USA |

He's baaaa--aaaack!!!! Yep! At least once-a-year. It's hard to believe that such a person actually exists, but it seems that he really does exist. Looking at his home page, (http://llef.tripod.com/eagleson) he has removed a lot of his personal information that was there a year or two ago, but his wife's "look at me!" stuff is still there. Would you believe that he really IS a pilot???? Hard, I know, but have a look at this: N-number : N10GS Aircraft Serial Number : 15060587 Aircraft Manufacturer : CESSNA Model : 150D Engine Manufacturer : CONT MOTOR Model : 0-200 SERIES Aircraft Year : 1964 Owner Name : EAGLESON DOUGLAS M Owner Address : 217 E DEER PARK DR GAITHERSBURG, MD, 20877 Type of Owner : Individual Registration Date : 02-Jun-1993 Airworthiness Certificate Type : Standard He does not appear in the FAA's public pilot database. We are not the only victims of Douglas' strange posts. Just one of many posts from the following site: http://mathforum.com/discuss/sci.math/m/474546/475786 Subject: When does zero exist? Author: Douglas Eagleson Date Posted: Jan 22 2003 12:00:34:000AM Bob Pease wrote: Doug's stuff is not written in anything resembling standard English. Also , he refuses to attempt to answer direct questions. I don't think he knows what "An algebra" means.. What I get as a poorly expressed opinion , using soi-disant definitions and ideas that were put to rest in the sixteenth century, that any mathematics that does not meet the computational needs of a Hutterite Farmer in the 19th century is not only useless, but marginally evil. I'm afraid I'll have to send him to Crank City. PLONK!!! RJ Pease Sorry, the concepts delayed for resolution all were delayed by the Knox recitation I replied to. The need to justify the zero number as the symmetry of all functions was the basis for the judgement of the theory's correctness. And the reply is to simply say, that the mathematics is able to be defined differently. And the differential was never considered correctly in its impact on the numbers system theory. What is the impact? Another mathematics is more likely correcter. Douglas Eagleson Gaithersburg, MD USA |
