>true airspeed indicator
True Airspeed is equivalent airspeed corrected for temperature and pressure
altitude. At speeds below 200 knots, true airspeed can be found by
correcting calibrated airspeed for temperature and pressure altitude. A
rule of thumb is: True airspeed is 2% more than calibrated airspeed per
1,000 feet altitude above sea level.
If a true airspeed indicator is installed, it is equipped with a rotatable
ring which works in conjunction with the airspeed indicator dial in a
manner similar to the operation of a flight computer. To operate the
indicator, first rotate the ring until pressure altitude is aligned with
outside air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Pressure altitude should not
be confused with indicated altitude. To obtain pressure altitude,
momentarily set the barometric scale on the altimeter to 29.92 and read
pressure altitude on the altimeter. Be sure to return the altimeter baromet
ric scale to the original barometric setting after pressure altitude has
been obtained. Having set the ring to correct for altitude and temperature,
read the true airspeed shown on the rotatable ring by the indicator
pointer. For best accuracy, the indicated airspeed should be corrected to
calibrated airspeed by referring to the Airspeed Calibration chart in
Section 5. Knowing the calibrated airspeed, read true airspeed on the ring
opposite the calibrated airspeed.

hi, Michel
How do you handle the instruments to your right? (Switches and stuff on the centre
console,
transponder, etc. - everything on the centre and right side of the instrument panel).
Also, how do you take notes? (During your x-country, for instance)
Pictures of you at work show you are right-handed...

I have not seen anything but military since the change on the 10th. Personally
I am disappointed, I really the enjoyed "From the ground up."
Matronics and programs like wings have been a great source of tips and encouragement
while I am building my 601XL.

Hello Martin,
They used to carry a series on Friday nights, and Saturadays of the
following
A Plane is Born -- (building an Europa) -- http://www.aplaneisborn.com/
this also gives you links to some others
A Chopper is Born -- (building a Exec 162) --
From the Ground-Up -- (building an RV-8)
Learning to Fly -- (a student learning to fly)
My wife liked the Learning to Fly series, as she was amazed about all
the things you have to stay on top of, during flying. But like anything,
that comes with practice!!
I don't know when they are going to change them. (after looking at the
web site) It looks like theys (discoverywings.com) has changed to all
military.
I'll have to check into it more.

It recently got renamed the "Military Channel" accoring to an EAA story
I read. What a shame :-(
http://members.eaa.org/home/ehotline/041203.html
Goodbye, D-Wings; Hello, Military Channel
Aviation enthusiasts who regularly tune into the Discovery Wings channel
will no longer be able to do so after January 10, 2005. That's when
Discovery Communications says it will transition to a new format, The
Military Channel, on digital cable TV systems. The new format will offer
"a broad focus on all aspects of the military, with a wide array of
programming about its people, strategy, technology and history,"
Discovery says. "While Discovery Wings Channel focused exclusively on
aviation, the Military Channel will feature a dramatically broadened
programming mission." The network's revamped slate of series and
specials is designed to take viewers "behind the lines" to tell the
personal stories of servicemen and women and offer in-depth explorations
of military technology, battlefield strategy, aviation, and history. For
more information, visit the Discovery Wings website.

Hi Carlos!
Ah ah! Fun questions!
The first time I boarded the plane with my instructor,
I thought I would impress him with my Navaid Autopilot
and its wing leveler feature. He showed me how this
planes already flies hands free.
This said, it is easy to control the plane with feet
alone and look at the maps, take notes and operate
whatever needs to be operated. While the elevator
trim is pretty sensitive, I have not much difficulty
setting it for climb, cruise and descent. When I went
to Sherbrooke, I cruised for quite a while hands free,
sometimes playing with maps and CFS and tracking
flight progress on my pad, sometimes, just relaxing
and enjoying the scenery. I don't know if this is
true for the HDS, but the HD was refered as being
stable by my instructor.
You want to buy an autopilot? I may have one for
sale!
Michel
PS: If you want to join me one day at SB3, consider
yourself invited!

I am glad I am not the only one out there that is disappointed. I have gone
to the extent of calling my cable company to complain. The change in line up
has come from Discovery. If it were to me, I would have left the Wings channel
by itself and added a new one (for the Military Channel). I have the number
for Discovery customer relations if anyone wants to complain. I sure did !!!

Just trim the plane... is like with your car (or easyer) How do you change stations
in your car radio? or Answer the cel phone? Or get romantic with
your girl friend? while driving...
The only point where probably will not aply is in heavy turbulence, but then you
will be to busy to take notes... is like driving at high speed in a heavy curved
road :-)
