even on noisy lines.  Bluewave handles Qwk and Bluewave mail equally well
also, saving me from using multiple readers.  Try using PkZip to archive

that can analyze and repair bad archives up to a point.  None of the
other archivers feature this.  This happens to everyone from time to

assistant: Hi Mitch: I'm not sure you have been in on this discussion
or you wouldn't have asked this question.
Richard and I were talking about the INITIAL control of the
yaw induced by the failed engine, and how many pilots
instinctively try to correct the resultant roll with
aileron, thereby getting into a dangerous cross-control
situation, with all the resultant spoiler drag etc. The yaw
should be jumped on with rudder only (the ball will stay in
the middle, and the HSI heading unchanged) Once the aircraft
is under control and the rudder forces trimmed out, you just
use aileron and everything else as always. I can't imagine
how this presents a problem to you - you must have been
doing it right for years!

 |    desired amount of dough-like resin and hardener.  The material is
 |    then kneaded briefly until it attains a uniform color and is
 |    installed in the seam between pieces of honeycomb.

I can't remember what I was going to do five minutes ago, but I do recall
some things.
As far I as I recall, the one-eleven wasn't a bad airplane, but I don't think
it sold well.  Either it was the econonics of the time, or it didn't enjoy a
good reputation.  I believe the only carrier in North America that bought any
new ones was Braniff - they painted then all different colours.

                �crit par  Jim Cole
                      �    Philippe Vessaire
it's that.
And, with actuals rules, we must have one V1.
But for a plane, a weight, a runway and day conditions we have a lot of
peeds
witch agree with the law, and we must choose only one speed.
And if you are below the runway weight limit, the higher V1 may be greater
than
the company choose. We can't know exactly it's value, but we know higher
weight
V1 value. And I wrote that : if you can stop a 165 tons plane at v1=155Kts,
you
can stop the same plane, at 125 tons at 145Kts, even the choosen V1 is 140
Kts.
Because we must choose a V1 among a lot of V1 that agree the legal
requirement.

Write your reply.

assistant: I'm going to change the subject to the one above if that's OK Robert?
I'm sure that's true Robert.  I think we all have experienced that
Instructor talk in our heads from a long time ago.  I think the key to
this is the differences in aircraft, their design, gear arrangement etc.
Probably the first two aircraft to depart from the "Hold her off" three
point stall landing was the Twin Beech and the C-47 and possibly C-46
(never flew this one).  They certainly could be three pointed but it was
harder and the risk was greater so they began "Wheel landing" these
aircraft and has continued to this day.  All aircraft have an optimum
touchdown speed.  In conventional aircraft the (too high) airspeed made
it almost impossible to land.  In Tricycle Gear aircraft you can put it
on the ground but the possibility of getting the nose wheel first and
causing a porpoise is certainly there which causes more problems for
begining students.  The (just the thought) of stalling an aircraft
scares the willies out of most students.  It never occurs to them that
excessive airspeed is just as dangerous in many other ways....Jim.....
