Перевод: undershoot

недолет

Тезаурус:

1. Many pilots undershoot or overshoot their chosen spot by large margins.
2. Failure to recognise undershooting and to close airbrakes in time to prevent an undershoot
3. Therefore turns should be stopped a certain amount before the actual heading - Undershoot your heading.
4. Unless the wind is very strong, if it is obvious that you can reach the field, it is useful to open full airbrake for a few seconds immediately after the final turn to check that you can undershoot.
5. Most undershoot accidents occur because the pilot has not recognised that the glider is critically short of height until it is desperately low.
6. Stalling can also be due to trying to stretch the glide instead of closing the airbrakes, or stretching the glide after getting into a desperate undershoot position.
7. "Whilst undertaking a textbook undershoot, the aircraft passed gently through the end of a cornfield, then a rather thick hedge, through the rough end of the strip and then hit this ******* great hare, spun round and turned over.
8. For this reason I always emphasise that if, as you complete the final turn, you are happy that you have got the field "made", you should always open full airbrake for a few moments to check that you would undershoot with that setting.
9. If a bad undershoot seems inevitable, again prompt action is needed rather than waiting to see what happens and how far you get.
10. I always think that it is criminal to undershoot the spot with some airbrake still on.
