LILO-LOWI-Adrenaline
Climb from "Corna" to "Liscidini"
3/4 Clock Around "Santa Giustina Lake"
INTRO - Where it all have STARTED
The beginning is always a delicate matter. It often does take several restarts and new approaches. This has been true for this writing... It has been true for the creation of the LILO-LOWI-Adrenaline "parcours" ... and it is a painful truth for all the pilots debuting and struggling with their plane. We all have been at that very start point, many times, all of us, trying to land back in a manner that leave us satisfied, failing, and trying again, repeatedly. CFIT(1) on final approach, bumpy landings, complicating with Tortoise oscillations(2) , Excursions(3), seem to be the constant.
Wrong mind - wrong landing
My first thoughts was : - "...oh, it is just a simulator... with a bit of training we get there..." But, despite my best patience and will, it was not "getting there". I turned my sleuth for help to the more advanced users and several users come to my rescue with a lot of advice, suggestion and even own demonstrations. I still am grateful for the the time and care shown to help me. Thank you. Despite their good and best advice, of course, surely because of me, that was not enhancing my approach and landing skills as much as i was expecting. Many user suggested me to use the instrument assisted approach. I can understand it does help to have a better line up in the approach even in marginal weather flying conditions, but it still does not "do" the landing for me", and even if it was done this is exactly the opposite of what i want "understanding how it does really work" in order to be able to "dom" it.
Never give up!
I did not give up. Despite the stupid feeling to be fighting some kind of invisible and apparently invincible enemy, i have continued to try experimenting with flying configuration each time a bit modified. Theses continuous modifications lead the search and the questions in new directions. And one of theses searches brought an unexpected explanation and solution. Actually, it had put the whole problem in a brand new light ! The explanation comes out from comments and sketches done by a, now, retired flight instructor. I do not think it is a "new knowledge" and I am confident that any airspace student will learn it in a, let's say more numerical way. But i have been delighted by the simplicity and the clarity of this explanation and I am going to share it with you. For copyright reasons i can not past it here as is, but... I can do a sketch of my own and add the explanation with my own words.
...My very first Title idea was "DISENGAGE AUTO-PILOT".
