KendalSimpson Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Acro in Hazy Weather" 06-27-03, 01:17z  LAST EDITED ON 06-27-03 AT 01:20z () LAST EDITED ON 06-27-03 AT 01:17z () Hey Tom, Being and feeling safe is always most important. With that in mind here's what I have found. When It's hazy there is usually one direction that has better visability than others so I try to practice maneuvers in that direction. Flying into the sun when its hazy is asking for trouble viz goes to nil. As long as your not looking into the sun traffic isn't as hard to pick out as you might think. The dark objects usually stick out fairly well against the haze. It is much tougher to fly the maneuvers with the haze but there will be contests where we will have to fly in those conditions. Maybe next time head for the best horizon you can find and just work on all types of rolls Point rolls, multiple rolls, rolls in oppisite directions etc... It might also be a good time to practice some inverted flight and inverted turns. Just my 2 cents worth but if you don't feel comfortable then your not having fun and thats what this is all about. So get out there and have FUN Kendal Simpson www.littletootaerobatics.com Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
