ready for the convective season?
WAtching A thundErstorm mature from your front porch can be beautiful and spectacular. On the other hand, flying anywhere in the vicinity of one can be deadly. Understanding convective weather is key to avoiding violent storms, which can produce airframe-shattering turbulence and raging winds, accompanied by blinding downpours and damaging hail.

ASI's newsletter for the serious flight instructor
Scaring the runway (CFI to CFI, Volume 3, Issue 1) is a great article on the elusive art of teaching landings. I'm sure everyone has got a million techniques. I used to take a long runway, and apply partial power to the takeoff roll—just enough to ride a wheelie in the landing flare attitude (most training aircraft begin and end flight in the exact same pitch attitude). I'd hold it there while the student looked over the nose and used peripheral vision to get used to the sight picture. When we were ready to fly, I just added takeoff power and continued. I can't think of a student that didn't love it. Breaking it into three parts helped, too. I found the flare process was student rushed, and when it was broken into parts, it was slowed down to an identifiable sequence. Approaching the runway, leveling off just above it, and holding it there (bleed speed)—and THEN flaring. Thanks for the hard work and the article! —Tony Reimer Thanks for your feedback!
