ConsCons

• Does not label “Good” “Better” “Best” Solutions• Does not describe what is better about each

improved solution- Why better? - What will I get for this?- What is difference in parts?

• Does not always give right info- Often 3’ cables work better than 6’ cables- Suggests 12’ substitution allowed

Flying the Harrier requires an absolute mastery of vertical flight basics and helicopter experience is usually mandatory, even if a new pilot has to be given several hours in a chopper before flying the jet. The coordination required to transition from vertical to level flight, especially when accelerating away from a hover, is critical. (cont)

If the aircraft gets turned "out of wind," that is, if it is not pointing into the wind, it begins to roll over and fall out from under you. A little ten cent weathervane in front of the windshield turns out to be the most valuable instrument on board, indicating wind direction in relation to the aircraft. Keep it pointing forward and everything is fine. (cont)
