Dartmoor Gliding News – Wednesday 15th January 2014

I could produce the digital equivalent of a rubber stamp for today’s weather. Low cloud, frequent heavy showers and strong to gale force southerly crosswinds. Sounds familiar I know.

So while not flying what did we do today? Well instructor Ged Nevisky conducted today's lecture about the  Principals of Flight, accompanied by a very professional looking video and presentation.

 The simulator was busy. Steve Raine completed another simulated cross country from Brentor to Northhill ( 68 km ). Amazingly, non solo pilot John Rogers attempted the same cross country and , with a little prompting almost completed it. He actually landed out about 8km short. Next time he is even planning to lower the wheel first. Great fun.

John is obviously pleased with his efforts.
Hoping for better weather soon.
