Show 55 FY z Z f i to CIA bemis kinoe BASIC FLIGHT instruction LESSON NUMBER FIVE robinson F fly ly down the line of the tha track keep her level and on a straight course now moke make your turn and gd eo back to the field and make your landing on the place where youve been landing think Thin kyou you can dochat do that bank Hanf eYou rou lust t watch met mel Robin acl remember about the wind and landing anding you aver know when the winds gling to change were coming into the field now circle round to see fee which way the ho winds from hank dy by george bill botre right wind has am changed chan gedl ill have to 0 land from this direction robinson right you arel are I 1 i and do you see eo what I 1 mean by saying anever never take anything tor for granted always be sure euro youlie youre right before give you the idea of what I 1 meant lets climb in hank right night ill all set robinson all set act take off go good od taeg off my lad bank Hank Thanks low how high do da you want mo me to go Robinson What does tho the altimeter read hank twenty five hundred Robinson high enough ill V 11 tako take the controls and show you why its bad bb siness to make spirals when losing height before landing now we are making mailing nice easy spirals and are almost ready to land we should geould be racing facing the field but are ara we wea hank we certainly are hotl not Robin you know why what youve got to do always in a plane hank Is to do the suro sure thing get me on all this hank blank 1 I got get some of it tuam not sure I 1 get 1 it I all do a side sideslip and ill irbe watch maybe then it will all be clear to me 4 Robin robinson sonAU all right well toko take off you just watch the stick and rudder bar im going to try toland to land her right by that stretch of grungrass green grass down on your left and before 1 I forget it the real value of sideslip ping is found in case of a forced landing where you may have very little ground to land on so when you practice pick out a certain spot and act as if you were compelled to land right on that spot were going to do that now 4 here goes I 1 pull back the throttle put her on the left side by using the stick and kick on enough top rudder to keep her nose on tho the hor izan and As the plane nears the ground the stick Is cc ainu a 11 pulled straight back until the tall a an and d wheels wheels touch the ground this is i a complete tall stall on the th ground forrow OFF forr ow ON ISO ii 75 eb t C cl OA fv A 0 st lit V you jou go ahead now that tho the winds changed ayou do you want me ma to land er hanl hanh 1 think 1 can do da Is aiom hots riom ri oM as frood bood a tinia alms to learn that trick as an any 0 Robinson the idea lt but since you have cave to land from forn this direction etah bringing her down dow A before you get over the tha field otherwise you might overshoot and run into tho the hangars j fine elnel great landingin land lan dIngi now ru ill cumb climb out and you go ahead and do some all ht flying solo dont san sany Y VP p more lore than on an hour and dont get out of might eight of the field bold it if your engine shows the slightest sign of being off of como straight incont In dont take any chat chances ices I 1 and look out for other ther planes dont got close to them or let them got get close to you the wide as aa tho the world and then some no sense cense to hi tho the air sed how good a pilot you can be on your own hank and watch out tor everything Remember keep your ayes open and look dinall in all directions so long over to stand wit with cassy casey at hangar nol no 1 while hank makes the flight I 1 casey cagey looks like ilka thit that fellows going inato to turn into a crack pilot nHe la Is always on hla his toes bocsa and remembers everything well almost almast everything the first time hoa told has a good sense of distance too fact Is ho he seems 0 to o have hava the stuff stair good pilots are made of 0 4 0 no robinson bInson awell well hank youve been doing quite a lot of 0 flying this vast hour how was it I 1 hank some of it Is so good bill i 1 tried landing on different places on an the field and a couple 01 times I 1 teemed seemed to sa hit on one ona wheel whee Robin know why hank Wank sural Sura I 1 wasas landing ditl my stick in neutral it was over to tins one tide side arid and a of course that made aho plane tilt a little Robinson the answer and since you know it you wont make that mistake again bank hanily ap lV not that one ona anyway know how high I 1 got this afternoon Robinson You tell mo me banji 1 was up thousand feet and I 1 started my last landing from that all altitude tude first I 1 pulled back the throttle end and put her nose doton then jhen sort of in in n a s spiral iral robinson agat good but when youre at ahugh a high altitude alti tudo vito like that its always beat to do those IS S turns il showed you always do your turp toward the field in that way ha be facing in the right direction tion when you are ready to 10 land its pretty hard to determine just just how much height youre losing with pah ach spiral so that come out just right you were plain lucky on what you did today and just another proof of what ive told you be sure youre right before you go ahead jana bank you mean I 1 might have cracked up robinson you ou were in re real aldon danger idank nonh cio just juil that sort of knocks knochs the wind out of me mi nIm im glad that you just i sort sorl of go the wind knocked out of you bod and not actually and all allwell I 1 well be doing today see you tor tomorrow robinson yvell hank you had a little experience on your own yes berday doing a spiral to lose height before landing remember I 1 told you to do S turns instead blank 1 ind and howl Robinson Well go up now and ill there cant be any guesswork in this game spirals are arc not for or landing because you never can tell where be ba facing when youre ready tb land instead oi of landing well climb up to the tha same altitude and ill show you what you should do ands and why you should do it were up now at twenty five hundred feet and ill shut down the tha engine and lose height by doing S turns I 1 down goes the nose through a agen gen tin tie glide and we bank in the same direction us ca the rudder after she ashes over JA in the direction you want you make a small glide in that direction before reversing direction dir 0 action which you do by reversing your controls of haye have to P 4 course you govern the length of your glides by the width of the tha ground on which you intend to land you continue this operation until youage you are at the edge of the field and about a hundred and fifty feet up then either sideslips side slips or glide straight onto tho the field and land remember treat every landing as if it were a forced landing by doing that always be in practice if 11 ever youl you have to 40 make one and always pick out the spot on the field where you intend to land that helps help you learn to cladge distances see sea how I 1 gave her tho the gas then just before you arc aro ready to landi land after having your engine throttled tor for anny length of time always give her a shot of gas to see if she holds here we are arc a perfect thrpo three point landing did I 1 tell you about those wheel landings the point Is dont ever make mako wheel landings F first arst because they are unnecessary and second because in wheel landing you might lilt hit something on the field too abo small email to bo be noticed but big enough to toss you over on your nose I 1 stick to the tha three point landing it its s the tha only perfect way to set her down bank blank suits me ine fine alne flut but why was it so 10 bumpy corning dotin robinson did the bumpiness scare hank inac no vo I 1 juk jua why it Is was bumpy Robinson mie The bumpiness was tn in the air hank in still weather a plane blane properly rigged will almost fly and land itself but the weathers not always perfect and aid to be a good pilot you have to know wow how to fly in spite of tho the weather and again I 1 caution you not to take cho chances nees no matter how good the weather be ba alert for the unexpected always now I 1 want to oget get you started on sideslips side slips and cross wind landings blank S like liev a large order robinson not so large an order but before we take oft IY ill explain the purpose of asid a sideslip estip is to lose altitude in the direction in which you intend toland to land to sideslip correctly the nose should be pulled well up the ship banked and the top rudder applied the stick should bo be eased cased forward enough to prevent turning lRe recovery covery Is accomplished by raising affie e low wing and easing off on the rudder observing due dua care to complete the recovery with the nose in its gliding position kee keep p her in that position until you get the trick of judging distances when you get that trick you can bring lier hor out of a sideslip much closer to the tha ground of course after you bring her out of the sideslip you must keep her nose inose down to the proper angle until yon are ready to level out oui and lose flying speed peed then set et her down on three points do yo you in the desired position see how were delre losing height and not going forward much i now im flattening out as 1 1 I puttee put the stick back to the other side to straighten her up and put her nose down just enough to keep flying speed now I 1 pull the stick back a little past neutral there we arel made it in fine shape and just about in the center of that gross grass I 1 was telling you about see how easy that was think you can do it hank Hun kIll ill try next neil best thins thing to tuo suo cess ts Is an honest honea failure ai luie robinson the make it now take off on and start landing from about the same place I 1 did that was a swell take oil hank but you turned a little too soon dont do quick turns until youve had more inore time in the air th enyou can do climbing turns ill tell you about that later now were just about where we were be JON f ore pull the throttle back and put I 1 the ate stick farther over tt it watch her nose youre letting her tall fall down apply a little littleton top rudder and put that stick on the other side quick put the rudder in neutrals neu trall it now put her nose down a attle walt wait a minute dont level out too soon all right level out one fine you overshot the mark a little that time hank lf if fiat spot had been the only one on which you CROSSWIND CROSS WIND AND TURN INTO tilt wand 4 INK 4 ka 4 could have landed haye have overshot and probably run into a fence or a ditch or something else that would have made a smashup I 1 well over and maybo maybe overt over again until you get the hang ot of it take oil hank do da you want m me to go th the same olne way as bafo acore i rs robins Robinson onye Yes s take oft off just as wo we did belote before all ali right northis now this altitude Is high enough youre on on your side too much puttee stick back on the other side a little fine watch her nose now look ahead for that mark and dont forget that you have only a small spot on which to land all ali right bring her in and i lond land Tha fine youre getting into the swing of it when you are a doing your solo work bet a lot of these small spot land ings good thing to be expert in landing in close quarters never know when have to td do it weve gotten that pretty well in hand so im going to tell you some thing about landing cross wind the purpose of cross wind takeoffs take offs or landings landig Is about the same as for side slipping suppose you want to take on off across wind instead of directly into the wind the first thing ahing do Js to take orf 01 in the regular waya way as a if into the wind I 1 I 1 As toon as you have good flying speed and have left the ground bank your plane slightly in tho direction of the wind with the right wing down if tho the wind is from the right that will counteract the drift of the plane over the ground caused by the force of the wind gradually rudder the plane into the wind and attar after you have faced the wind neutralize the rudder and pull the stick back for to but not too steep do you get the idea |
