oops. I guess.
Talk about thread drift!

Hi Ken,
Looks like we are going the right way forwards towards getting this
actioned. Re reading the originator for the topic about mishandled
advanced aerobatics, signals that there was a deficiency in
knowledge of basics. That would be a direct result of the lack of
information in the IH about how this is done and how to teach it to
others. It is well past time we actually got this done.
There needs to be an included module on design limits , speed
placarding on ASI's and why rolling G is so important,(especially
with larger span gliders). An understanding of how the yellow arc
speeds are affected by use of combined control inputs is needed.
I think the illustrations in the reference I forwarded to you are
sufficient. They are clear and accurate, and only need to be
revised into any "how we teach" document.
I previously mentioned Nigel Arnott should be included in
development. This was specifically because of his extensive
experience in advanced aerobatics , as a National unlimited category
champion, and his vast Gliding experience teaching advanced
Aerobatics over many years. I am sure there must be others with
similar useful knowledge and experience, with whom we should also be
consulting- perhaps ask each state to nominate their sky god.
My view is that Basic Aerobatics should remain as part of the
Instructor Handbook and all instructors should be able to perform
these successfully. Anything to do with Advanced Aerobatics should
be included into an advanced Gliding Instruction document. All
training for advanced aerobatics in gliders should only be carried
out by appropriately trained specialists in gliders rated for those
maneuvers. Previous training and experience in basic aerobatics
should be a requirement for this. A suitable medical standard needs
to be defined for the higher forces involved.
I don't envy your task to lay this out for the Ops panel then get
consensus, as my experience tells me it will result in a "yes
minister" outcome, but I may be surprised. Best of British Luck anyway.
Regards
Glenn
