For myself, I am not interested in any variometer cruise modes so am content
with my B400 and B40 in our second glider. Interestingly both Bruce Taylor and
myself seem to muddle along OK with sink tone disabled!

Flying in the best air allows for a greater sample (time and distance) of air
to pick the best climb.

Dear Tom and others,
Sort of related
Do you operators at/near the top in Nationals favour using while
cruising a vario set to relative mode, ie showing all the time what
happens if the glider were slowed below 60 knots, in effect airmass less
glider rate of sink at 60 kts?

When our business went under over 20 years ago, finances precluded flying
and my medical expired. During this period I developed rheumatoid
arthritis, probably stress induced, but it had gone into remission with no
symptoms remaining. When renewing my licence I had simply forgotten about
it. Our
Which is why you have the option of turning off the sink sound on the
B400, B600, B700 and B800, from the front panel.
You can also configure a B600/B800 to just show plain TE vario in
cruise instead of relative or netto but I don't know why you would.

Yeah Mark, I agree that a good working wheel-brake is essential.
I seem to recall that something similar to what you described with the Arrow
also happened on the Benalla airfield - I think it was about the time of the
last pre-worlds. Maybe some old Benalla hand can supply the details?

Hi Ted, if your main / only aim is to fly the tug, there is an alternate
holding a class 2 medical - the Rec Pilots Licence for which CASA exemption
(Ex 68/12) allows you to fly solo with certain restrictions.
See http://www.casa.gov.au/scripts/nc.dll?WCMS:STANDARD::pc=PC_100908
You are required
Good luck indeed with the driver's licence medical. Better make sure
you are allowed to fly the tug on it first. It comes with significant
restrictions.
It also doesn't change the medical standards for a PPL in any
significant way. The driver's licence medical appears to be one

Stuart,
The eagle doesn't need to look at his vario. His ears detect the
pressure changes caused by climb and descent. There is also some
conjecture that some soaring birds can detect the nearby presence of
thermals by the infrasound (sound at frequencies lower than 20 Hz)
generated.
Looked into it, it's definitely a con job.
Any one with neurological, cardio vascular or skeletal muscular problems
still has to be approved by casa.

Relative is airmass less glider sink in a typical thermalling turn.
About 2 knots is right for most modern gliders. Varies with wing
loading and altitude(density) which is computed in properly designed
modern varios.
In summary:
total energy compensates for rate of change of airspeed due
Anyone got a B40 repeater that's spare?
