Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Forward slips? - A K6 with the right attitude in a side-slip will have the rudder "sucked" into the max position in the same manner like a DG-500. (Does this make the K6 a modern glider?) - During my training this was demonstrated to me by my instructor. - The suction effect ("rudder lock") can be prevented by keeping pressure on both rudder pedals. (This was also demonstrated by my instructor) - I performed a rudder lock and recovery as part of side-slip training. - This was performed in safe altitude above 1000ft. - I believe that spin training is performed in order to prevent spins. - No surprises during side-slipping thereafter - I am prepared because I am trained in the procedure. - Side-slipping can still be utilised safely to reduce rope slack. - Not all gliders can be treated the same: read the manufacturers manual before flying the type (what does SH state in the POH about side slipping? I reckon SH know about the decreased elevator effectiveness and let people know about this) On Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 9:27 PM, John Parncutt <HYPERLINK "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The use of side slipping on approach with modern T tail gliders such as the Janus for instance should be avoided. The disruption of airflow over the elevator can result in reduced or no elevator authority. Another effect of side slipping that can occur with some aircraft including the Janus is rudder lock. These are obviously not desirable effects on approach! For this reason in our club we do not teach the use of side slipping on approach with any of our aircraft. Of course many older aircraft can be side slipped very effectively and safely.

Hmmm I would have to disagree about using sideslips being a thing of the past. Admittedly, I trained in the UK in the '60s, where small paddocks were pretty common (and on gliders that had ineffective spoilers let alone ineffective airbrakes) and so sideslips were an integral part of the training I received (and eventually was giving as an instructor). Even in Alice, I still sideslip (although with her lack of rudder she doesn't slip too well in a straight line) on occasion to keep in practice in case I need it some time. With full landing flap, full airbrake and the max straight line sideslip, Alice's rate of descent is high and the angle of approach is really steep (think clearing obstacles and maximising ground roll space in a short paddock). I know that if I need it, the skill/knowledge/experience are there ready to be pulled out. I last used a sideslip during a busy arrival at this year's Easter comp so I could land short and quickly get off the runway, out of the way of a stack of traffic behind me in the circuit. I would also maintain that we should teach sideslips - one of these days being able to do it safely could prevent a marginal outlanding from becoming another outlanding accident. As a general principle, I believe pretty strongly that, with the exception of full aerobatics that scare quite a few people, if there's a safe manoeuvre that your glider can do, you should know how to do it safely - that way, if you need to do it, it's part of your skill set. -- Robert Hart HYPERLINK "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[EMAIL PROTECTED] +61 (0)438 385 533 HYPERLINK "http://www.hart.wattle.id.au"; \nhttp://www.hart.wattle.id.au _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list HYPERLINK "mailto:[email protected]"[EMAIL PROTECTED] t To check or change subscription details, visit: HYPERLINK "http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring"; \nhttp://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list HYPERLINK "mailto:[email protected]"[EMAIL PROTECTED] t To check or change subscription details, visit: HYPERLINK "http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring"; \nhttp://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _____ _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring No virus found in this incoming message.
