It is getting near my bedtime here on Vancouver Island and I thought I would ask all you people out there if you ever learn anything new here that may sway the way you fly your airplanes?
Just over a week ago I started a thread asking why so many people fly the final approach correcting for drift by side slipping.
The response was quite active with almost 7500 views and 230 posts so far.
For an internet forum that thread has been so polite and so on topic it is almost frightening.
Most of you will be back on Pprune long before I get out of bed tomorrow so I will be very interested in finding out if these discussions have any real value.
we need new people to get involved, there are far to many who never post for what ever reason...
....And the private pilot group are by far the most important group here because they fly for the joy of it and this is a free learning environment where you can sift between the valuable opinions and the B.S. opinions.
As we see in the side slip discussion each question and idea is being carefully dissected and a pattern is emerging.
Talk to you all tomorrow.
