Hooknswoop 19 #26 November 8, 2003 QuoteThere are still some instructors out there teaching the 45 degree angle rule regarding exit separation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's what I was taught-- is there a better way to determine exit separation? Yes, the 45-degree theory is worthless. Do a search, this has been debated a lot. Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shark 0 #27 November 8, 2003 Quote-- is there a better way to determine exit separation? At least a 6 second interval or add 6 seconds for every 10 mph of upper wind. eg. 20 mph uppers, use approximately a 12 second interval. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ifics 0 #28 November 10, 2003 Why does it say to fly the biplane to the left? If I had a side by side or biplane above me I would probably just let it be and try to find a good place to land. Downplane I would think your only option is to cut away, if not I doubt PLF is going to help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #29 November 11, 2003 "Why does it say to fly the biplane to the left?" I wouldn't normally bother but seeing as its safety, and I'm all about safety....I'll repeat what I said earlier... "One thing to watch out for though..."If the side-by-side develops into a biplane, fly it as recommended to the left." instead of 'left' it should read "as described above for Biplane". Somethings don't translate directly from the printed page to a website." The original article was printed in the British Mag, where column layout etc was different to the web page. The instructions on how to fly a biplane were actually to the left of this statement....-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
