All,
Craig Summer asked if we could do a sort of survey for the Lightning
newsletter and ask about safety. So what type of safety articles would you want
to see covered in the future? I am looking for either specific or general
in nature suggestions as to what might be helpful both during the build phase
or, obviously, the flying phase for your Lightnings. What would you like to
see covered that has a potential safety impact? Ground safety, flight
safety, build safety, tool safety, anything that is safety related. (Well, maybe
not practicing safe sex. Everyone is up on that, I guess.)
In the past I have covered things on normal landings, in flight and
landing emergencies, and some fuel considerations. The next issue (April - which
is about 85% done except for an update on the LS-1) will have some things to
think about on cross wind landings and as a bonus, some considerations when
landing on grass or turf runways (yes, I love grass runways).
Pete Disher has already suggested one safety related article on weather
flying. I see several levels of any weather discussion when flying the
LIghtning. One would be just your ever day decision making on go - no go when
you
don't have perfectly blue skies and some discussion on what to do when you
encounter weather that was not forecast during your flight. Another level
would be for actual IFR flight. This article should probably cover the things
you need to do to get your Lightning certified for IFR flight (Linda's is the
only one I am aware that has this certification) and also cover the decision
making process, both before you launch and during the flight itself. I feel
sure Linda would cover the IFR certification for experimental aircraft for
us. Linda? And of course, World Record Earl had to make many weather related
go/no go decision both during and before he even launched on his world record
flight. Earl?
How about you, what safety related articles would you like to see? Have
you had a flight that you could tell us about that could have been a
potential safety issue? How did you handle it? What did you Learn about flying
from that? What suggestions can you make for safety articles? What articles
can you write for us? We will pay you the going rate for people that write for
our newsletter. As always, I appreciate your input.
Blue Skies,
Buz

Hello Buz
When you write the article on Cross Winds, could you include your ideas
on gusty, turbulent winds in general...especially on Final Approach.
Maybe it could include recommendations on flap extension and approach
speeds under those conditions. I've been experimenting and I would be
interested in your opinion.
Thanks
Gary Pennington

Hi Buz,
Yes, Gary has a good request here, I also would certainly love some
hints on your technique on handling turbulent final approaches, I have
really had some close calls. With 25 hours now, my bird is the most
delightful plane to fly, but come turbulent air on landing, I certainly
have my hands full, there is a lot I need to work on.
Many thanks Buz.

Buz,
I may be the only one who feels this way but I don't think we should
add safety articles as a general topic in the newsletter. There are
many other sources of information on general aviation safety; I receive
lots of magazines and Internet information with the like. I believe
that we should limit the newsletter to things pertaining specifically to
the Lightning; if one of the owners/pilots needs help with a specific
topic, fine but don't add safety information just for the sake of it.
My two cents, Linda

Gary and Pete D.,
That crosswind article is already written - and since I seem to have to
do most of the writing myself, it is primarily just the basics. But it does
touch on the two common techniques used for crosswinds. The one I use I
think is best suited for changing winds. It would be hard to cover every
situation, but your idea may have merritt. Most guys with any past experience
will
have some ideas of their on as to use of flaps, etc. But I would like you
both to send me your thoughts for a future issue and I can expand on that. Hey
guys, I really am asking for some help. You wouldn't believe the hours I
put in on just getting each issue out. It is a great idea, and need to be
covered, I just need some help it get it done in a timely basis.

You know, Linda, now that I really think about it, that is pretty much the
initial goal and idea of the newsletter - to share Lightning specific topics -
building and flying. Maybe I am getting too far off target trying to cover
things that pilots should already know - like how to handle crosswind landings
or landing on grass runways. Good point. Probably would make my job
easier. So I throw this out to the group. How many agree with Linda that we
should only talk about Lightning specific things? Send in your "vote" then Linda
and I will do the democratic thing and make the decision ourselves. Just
kidding. Let us know what you think.

Buz, I like your idea about safety tips. A bad landing in a crosswind can cost
big $$$$$ to fix- so any tips to avoid costly repairs from improper technique
can be helpful. Charles
