Oshkosh of the West is the nickname for the Golden West Fly In. Still, it is interesting that Red Star could be mistaken for it. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza, Suite 201 brian@lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 - voice +1.360.838.9669 - fax

What is more > "standard" than the word of the aircraft designer? The CJ was designed decades ago and it seems clear that the designer doesn't remember the numbers anymore. (In fairness to the designer, I don't remember what I was doing decades ago either.) I'm sure that there were numbers for the airplane when it was designed, but he has obviously forgotten them. I would much prefer to have numbers published in an official manual. However, since this is not the case, I use the gear speeds given to Fred by the Chinese military for the CJ6A. These were the speeds that the military told Fred that they were using and I find this MUCH more reasonable than to use another airplane's speeds. Brian, you are obviously free to use any numbers that you want. I'm quite certain that with only a sliderule and a pocket protector, you could come up with better numbers than either the designer or the military. > Or are you now saying that we can evaluate things and accept or deny based on > our own experiences and our own evaluation of the aircraft?

C'mon Brian, you know better that this. I can see from your post that you're seen the CJ Flight Manual and you know that much of the info is obviously bogus. It doesn't look like a military document, much of the info is wrong, and the translation is horrible. If there were an accurate flight manual provided by the Chinese military, you can be 100% certain that I would adhere to it. Mike McCoy

Like to take a quick head count on what you need in oils. Multi grades Straight grades or Mineral I use 50 or 60 down here (100-120w) detergent oil. Last year at MTW we use some 68 gals on one type of oil, so the FBO needs to know what to stock and an idea of how much. ASAP on answers please.

    Subject: Formation T-37 accident report
    --> Yak-List message posted by: ByronMFox@aol.com Officials release T-37 accident report 03/25/03 - RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- Air Force officials have determined pilot error caused the Dec. 20 mid-air collision of two T-37 Tweet trainer aircraft out of Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. In its description of the incident, the accident investigation board said the pilot of one of the T-37s did not ensure adequate separation between the two aircraft while practicing formation maneuvers. The collision occurred when one of the aircraft broke formation while in a formation turn. The student pilots involved were flying their third formation sortie, according to the report. Italian air force Capt. Michele Minonne, instructor pilot, and 2nd Lt. Samuele Quarina, student pilot, were in one T-37. Maj. Robert A. Evalenko, an Air Force Reserve instructor pilot, and 1st Lt. Eric Langmayr, a German air force student pilot, were in the aircraft that caused the mishap. After the mid-air collision, Evalenko and Langmayr ejected and their T-37 crashed into a wheat field near Grandview, Okla. Minonne assumed control of the other aircraft, determined it was controllable, returned to Sheppard and completed a gear-up crash landing back at Sheppard. All crewmembers were uninjured. The aviators were members of the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program, sponsored by NATO and conducted by the 80th Flying Training Wing at Sheppard. The 55-week program produces about 250 pilots annually. Eight nations have students and instructors in the program: Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Turkey and the United States. Five others, Canada, Greece, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom, contribute instructor pilots to the multinational staff. (Courtesy of Air Education and Training Command News Service)

    tests=QUOTED_EMAIL_TEXT,REFERENCES,SPAM_PHRASE_03_05, --> Yak-List message posted by: "Walt Lannon" <lannon@look.ca> Brian, Mike et al; Last word for me on this subject. The numbers I have arrived at ie: 90Kts flap and 110 Kts gear are, I believe, reasonable and in accordance with similar aircraft types. They may not be absolutely correct but we don,t know what the correct numbers are. If these are wrong I am confident that I have erred on the safe side. In practice they work just fine though up here in Canada we do the break from a low approach and reach the gear speed at the 90 deg. point in the pitch up.
