Buz=2C
You didn't happen to know the pilot=2C Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger=2C i
n the US Air 1549 crash did you? I saw he was an AF F-4 pilot and Academy
grad. Looks like he did an awesome job of flying the aircraft as far into
the crash as possible. Brian W.

Subject: RE: Lightning-List: turbulant landing
.com>Gary=2C sounds like an exciting ride!My only thought=2C not knowing th
e topography was would there have beensomewhere else to go that wouldn't ha
ve been so turbulent?. I've justbeen surfing Google Earth and maps and it s
eems to be a fairly hillyarea so that probably wasn't an option for you.I'v
e only once been caught as you describe. Returning from France to myhome fi
eld in the East of England we'd been flying for two hours andknew there was
a storm front moving SE towards our destination. I wasmonitoring the ATIS
at my local municipal (west of destination) andthere was a steady 8 knots b
lowing all the while we moved up from theChannel towards home. When we were
30 miles out it started to get alittle bumpy and then the ATIS swiftly cha
nged to 20 gusting 40 orsomesuch. We turned back to the last airfield we'd
flown over to sit itout only to find I could get anywhere near the ground i
n enough controlto land. Only solution was to move further away from the we
ather and out run it.15 miles further east is was still a little windy but
the gusting wasmuch reduced and we managed it OK despite a hefty crosswind.
The wife had asked after two approaches to the gusty runway=2C what do wedo
now? I confidently said 'we've enough fuel to get back to France' toput he
r at ease and make me feel better=2C hoping that we could get awayfrom the
front far enough to some smooth air. I was lucky as it was thecase. Also a
point to add is the biggest hill in Norfolk UK is 280 feet!We ate our lunch
and flew home 2 hours later in a still air.As was said before=2C a slap fr
om Mother nature isn't so pleasant! AnotherI learned about flying from that

ng-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday=2C January 11=2C 2009 1:53 PMSubject: RE
: Lightning-List: turbulant landingGary=2C In the situation that you desc
ribed I would normally use noflaps. It's really important if you have gust
y conditions. I wouldthen add speed to compensate for my lack of flaps=2C
and add half the gustfactor more. (if you have 15 Gusting 25=2C then add 1
0 knots of airspeed)I hear what some have said about floating and such and
now you're addingairspeed. The flaps out on a really gusty day are going t
o make thingsten times harder though. If you practice and plan your no fla
p landingsthe Lightning will do it just fine. Even with the extra speed yo
u couldvery easily get down and stopped on a 4=2C000 foot long runway witho
utupping the pucker factor too much. A few stories that I will pass on abo
ut interesting landings:Flying out of Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach was alw
ays aninteresting thing. With about 2=2C500 training flights a day it was
oneof the busiest airports in the world. It reminds me of flying out ofAtl
anta with 20 people on extended final flying parallel approaches intothe pa
rallel runways. We often had controllers squeeze us in betweenaircraft on
final and shuffle us around based on how far the otheraircraft were in fron
t of us. One particular time I turned final in aCessna 172S and we had a t
urbo Seneca twin in front. He was trying tospeed up the Seneca that was ba
rely in the air. He asked me to give himbest forward speed. I went right
to 129 knots forward speed and to myamazement our ground speed was 165 knot
s! The controller thanked me andasked me to slow when I closed up that gap
=2C but also wanted to know whatkind of Cessna 172 would do a 190 MPH! I k
now what you're thinking=2C whywas he landing with a tailwind=2C but if you
live on the coast in Floridayou know that the winds 20 miles out=2C such a
s where final started can becompletely different than the coast where you t
ypically get a seabreeze.Another time I was in a Cessna and the guy in fron
t of us waslingering in the air. We were on instrument approach and had be
en on along night flight. We were completely visual at this point and shoo
tingthe approach for practice. Well=2C the controller came on and asked if
wecould go visual and start a climb same heading and he'd bring us backaro
und to the FAF. I started my climb and intentionally tried tomaintain the
least ground speed as possible. We got about 2=2C000 feetdown the runway a
nd were at 1=2C500 feet when the controller said=2C "if youcan get it down
you're cleared to land." I told him we could if hecould grant us a long la
nding=2C which he did. (10.5k long runway) Ichopped the power to idle=2C s
lowed the aircraft down=2C and put it in asevere side slip until just befor
e landing. We made the midfieldtaxiway easily.My worst time trying to get
a plane on the ground was probablyagain=2C in a Cessna=2C when I was a Jr.
in High School. It can beextremely windy=2C and gusty in the plains part o
f Arkansas where I grewup. This happens even more during winter as far as
frequency=2C althoughwe have recorded 100+ MPH straight line winds on multi
ple occassionsahead of a storm front. I took off=2C just fine=2C flew arou
nd a while=2C andcoming back in for landing I noticed that I was hauling on
downwind andit was bumpy. Turning final I was going up and down. I went
around andtried again. This time=2C no flaps=2C forward speed up a little.
We hadwinds gusting from 25-45 which was causing some great discomfort on
thepart of the pilot. The winds weren't straight aligned with the runwaye
ither. I got it down fine=2C but that was a very uncomfortableexperience f
or a young pilot.My final story is one with a Lightning. I had been flying
forseveral hours and saw a storm coming. I wanted to get as much time asp
ossible in that day so I stayed up. I looked again in about 10 minutesand
it was coming a lot faster than I thought. I headed towards theairport as
this gust front was approaching. I entered downwind andlistened to the ASO
S. This was a gust front approaching and it wasstarting to get really roug
h aand the sky was turning black. I turnedfinal and I could tell that the
winds were switching on me=2C but I couldalso see lightning and start to se
e rain. I wanted to get down on thisgo if at all possible. I landed with
about a 20 knot tailwind and gotback to the hangar just as it started to po
ur. I believe that if you had your engine stop and then didn't stickthe la
nding then you can be fine. If you want to know how=2C go out andget your
tailwheel endorsement. Brian W.________________________________From: penni

bulant landingDate: Sun=2C 11 Jan 2009 06:07:29 -0700Good morning BuzThanks
for your response.When I lifted off=2C winds were North at five=2C clear b
lue skies.While aloft=2C I was too busy trying to hold my plane in the air
andupright to notice the winds shown on the EFIS. At the moment Iexperience
d the extremely turbulent updrafts=2C I was abeam the numbers.That is also
the time I begin to drop flaps and reduce throttle for mydescent. I'm think
ing that with the updrafts and flaps deployed=2C thelift was just too great
to allow a descent. Hence=2C on my third attemptwith no flaps=2C no power
and pushing the nose over=2C I was able todescend. Mother Nature is a power
ful force and she is still in charge. Iwas at Marana Regional Airport. Have

For those souls in the frozen USA north - we just topped 43C (109F) in
Perth city, Western Australia a few minutes ago (1.00pm). The airport
is at 43.7C (111F)and the airforce base is at 44C (111.5F).
South Australia is due for even higher temperatures tomorrow - so Dennis
at Kingston should be very warm.

Maybe a little colder than usual.
It will be -20 F (-29 C) tonight (actually around 6 AM tomorrow
morning) here in balmy St. Paul, Minnesota. Somewhere two hundred
miles north, it should be -40 (F or C).
