"JANUARY 29:
FLEW YESTERDAY
FOR MY FIRST
LESSON. COLD
BUT BEARABLE."

Heather Baldwin's analysis in "Around
the Patch: Go Large, Go Long" (February
2014 Flight Training).
This is merely my opinion, but her
words "loaded his wife and two children,"
"entered clouds about 700 feet off the
ground," and "pushing outside comfort
zones within the bounds of safety" don't
add up for a 7.5 hour, non-instrumentrated private pilot. The trip to the
reunion (landing short and driving) was a
good lesson, but to categorize the return
in the same light is questionable-especially for a student pilot audience who
maybe developing his aeronautical decision making process. Good luck does not
equal good ADM.

HOW IT WORKS

The article "How It Works: Airspeed
Indicator" (February 2014 Flight Training) gets an F. Were there lots of blanks
from severe editing? Why the same two
pictures? This is a lost teaching opportunity-to state the same indicated
observed airspeed on different days
produces near the same aerodynamic
characteristics and same stick feel. That
amazing mechanism that duplicates the
equation of air flow to calculate true
velocity at sea level based on the pressure
difference between total and static pressure. There are other things; but, what I
see in this article is the reason we rank
about last in the world on education.
