AEROfile: Solo flight at 16.
http://aerofile.blogspot.com/2012/06/solo-flight-at-16.html
Friday, 29 June 2012. Solo flight at 16. David Marchington celebrated his 16th birthday on 28th May by flying solo. At age 12 it was suggested that he might be the youngest pilot in Great Britain. From age 11, his dad, Dr Tony Marchington, would take him to the flying club every Sunday for flying lessons. A good education and David's all round development and mentoring was Tony's long term gift to his son. Http:/ aerofile.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Youngest%20Pilot%20in%20Great%20Britain.

Wednesday, 4 February 2009. Point of No Return (PNR). Similar to Point of Equal Time or Critical Point (CP), the Point of No Return is a straight forward equation easily resolved on your Dalton flight computer. The Point of No return (PNR) depends on the fuel endurance. Time After passing the Point of No Return the remaining fuel will not. The simple formula for PNR is:. T (PNR) = E X GS Home/[GS Out GS Home]. Where: T (PNR) = Flying Time to PNR and E = Endurance. The formula can also be transposed as:.

What IS Maximum Drift? It is the maximum drift possible with a given wind strength at a given TAS. The Drift Angle that the aircraft would experience IF the wind was directly ACROSS i.e. at 90-degrees to the Track. How is this useful to ME? Fraction of Max Drift:. 0-degrees OFF = 0/6. 10-degrees OFF = 1/6. 20-degrees OFF = 2/6.

AEROfile: THINK - DELAY - ACT!
http://aerofile.blogspot.com/2009/10/think-delay-act.html
Saturday, 3 October 2009. THINK - DELAY - ACT! There are very few circumstances in flying where it is necessary or desirable for the pilot to react*. In the vast majority of cases the Captain's actions should be considered, measured and deliberate. There is no intended connection between these words and the image above. We should, however, be reminded that should things go wrong the first thing to do is FLY THE PLANE. Pause for just a second or two) - Act. There is an article Command lessons from QF32.
