Lancair newsletter titled, “Lancair Mail“ which is obviously oriented specifically
to our Lancairs, and of course this Handbook.
GENERAL FLIGHT TOPICS
Flight Plans
Plan your flight and fly your plan. Words worth remembering and following.
Planning means checking the weather, NOTAMs, aircraft, and planning “what if’s”
so that you are never backed into a corner. Someone on the ground should always
know where and when you are going and by what route. Enroute an occasional
weather check for the destination is prudent if there is anything but severe clear
in the area. Since your Lancair has “long legs”, you can well expect significant
weather changes between takeoff and landing both in terms of temperatures and
types of weather. Over deserts in the summer calls for carrying some drinking
water, perhaps a sleeping bag, and some plastic sheet for sun protection - just in
case. Winters calls for warm clothing, matches for a fire, etc. Like the Boy Scouts,
“Be Prepared”.
Mountain Flying
Flight of small aircraft over mountains and in mountainous areas is different from
“flat lander” flying. It is extremely quick transportation compared to ground means
and can be done safely, but is not without its special concerns. Operation of the
aircraft is generally at much higher altitudes where engine performance is poorer,
and stall speeds are higher due to the less dense air. Care must be taken to allow
for these effects by reducing the gross weight if necessary. More room must be
allowed for takeoff and landings and slower climb rates expected. In addition, the
weather is significantly different. Winds can be extremely strong and turbulent
especially between the passes where we tend to go to improve terrain clearance.
The weather can change in very short periods of time, both to the good and to
the bad. In the winter weather fronts can make crossing a range of mountains
next to impossible at times with short periods of acceptable time in between the
fronts. Even then however the winds and turbulence can be extreme. Obtain the
advise of “locals” before venturing into this unknown. They can provide you with
required/desired equipment, best routes, service possibilities and such to make
your crossing more comfortable. Nights and mountains almost always calls for
IFR operations. The MEAs, ATC following, someone to talk to and listen to are
most comforting. Always follow airways as “the rocks” are not visible at night.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO SCUD RUN.
