In the past week I have received two of my February aviation
periodicals, FLYING and AOPA PILOT.
I found one article in each of the magazines to be of interest in
relation to discussing the topic of personal aviation safety.

FLYING, February 2008, page 41, Jay Hopkin's TRAINING column. The title
is WHAT IS SAFETY?

AOPA PILOT, February 2008, page 101, LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE CRASH by
Steven B Zaboji.

I glanced in my copy of Hansen's "First Man, The Life of Neil A.
Armstrong" and happened on a passage about the background of the
Apollo pilots charged with landing the LMs on the Moon: six of the
seven chosen were naval aviators
(Armstrong,Conrad,Shepard,Young,Cernan). Only one was US Air Force
(Scott). Deke Slayton hand picked the guys -- and Slayton was Air
Force.

I wonder if there are enough training or experience differences to
have played a role, or if it was an individual talent / skill issue.

Any civilian pilots ever in the US space program?

I'm working on the center section for a Hatz. The trailing edge of the
center section is a recurved lamination that provides better access to the
front cockpit.

I've steamed and clamped the strips into a form, and they have taken on some
of the curve, but when I unclamp 'em after they dry, I get significant
springback. The question is whether I need to allow for this in the
finished lamination, or whether the springback will go away when I glue up
the assembly?

FYI, the lamination starts as four 3" x 1/4" strips.

Thanks in advance,

Kyle Boatright

Folks,

I'm starting to research my next plane.

Is anyone aware of a book that lists, or better yet, groups by
similarities, piston single aircraft for performance and specification
research?

Any suggestions are welcome. A website would be OK, too, but I'd
actually prefer printed material.

Thanks!

For whatever it's worth, I located the crash site from the coordinates
given in the NTSB preliminary. The North Town One Departure from KVGT
from where the airplane left calls for an overflight of the LAS VOR.
The crash site is only half a mile from the direct course from LAS to
L00, the airplane's destination. I know the did not file an IFR
flight plan, and I have no idea about the actual route of flight;
however, I found this an interesting coincidence.

Without warning or reports of turbulence, an Air Canada flight en route to
Toronto dipped and rotated violently, on early Thursday morning, causing
injuries and confusion among passengers and the crew. Strangely enough,
flight experts are still unsure about what caused the accident.

"What happened aboard Air Canada flight 190," said a reporter on CBC's The
National, "can best be described as chaos."

According to passenger accounts, the Airbus aircraft bucked and rolled side
to side abruptly, hurling dishes and people through the air. "It was
weird," one passenger told the CBC. "The plane actually turned upside down
without actually feeling it. There were people on the roof. Coffe and shit
[was] flying all over the plane."

After steadying the plane, the pilots were able to make an emergency
landing in Calgary under their own power. Ten of the 88 people aboard were
injured, even though the episode was over in 15 seconds. All have since
been released from the hospital.

So what caused the jolt? Immediately following the event, the pilot
announced that the plane's autopilot program had been knocked out. But
others aren't convinced.
