From Our Commander,

The only constant is change

Have you ever heard this statement made? Icertainly have. Many times.

There has always, and constantly will be change.Change occurs everywhere. In our work, our school,

in our community, in our nation. This is unavoidable.Anything or anyone that refuses to change is at risk offollowing the path of the dinosaur. Change is scary.We do not know what the future holds. We want tokeep things as they are. Where we are comfortable.The old saying "Better the Devil that you know, than the Devil you don't know" isused as an excuse to resist change. Unfortunately, this is not good, it is nothealthy. There will always be resistance to change. This is normal. Resistance iusually caused by not knowing or understanding the need for a particular changeResistance usually ends up giving way to progress and improvement. There habeen significant changes in the way that the CAP operates over the years. There

will continue to be changes.

We have an opportunity to get a glimpse of what the future holds for the AlabamWing and for CAP in general at the upcoming Wing Conference. There will bemany sessions at the ALWG Conference. Sessions that will show us where weare, where we need to go, and how we plan to get there. We need to get thisinformation so that we can work together to achieve our goals.

I want to encourage everyone to make every effort to attend the upcoming WingConference. I also want to encourage everyone to take notes and come back anshare the information with our members. I would like to have articles from severa

members about the Wing Conference in our upcoming Newsletters. This will allous to distribute the most information to the most members.

It is great to look back at what we have accomplished, but we must keep lookingahead to avoid obstacles in our path.

Keep looking ahead!

Safety

Last year about this time, I informed you that contrary to common belief March was not the windiestmonth of the year, and that April was instead. Well, I must have used the national average for thisdetermination since my recent inquiry into the NOAA files actually reveals somewhat different results.It appears that, using only the four AL reporting points (Huntsville, Birmingham, Montgomery andMobile) that March average winds actually doexceed Aprils by a slight amount. My apologies formanipulating facts to make my point at the time. Maybe, I should really be in politics! Anyway, it allows

me to again emphasize the upcoming winds as a factor in our flying activities and, not only for March,but in April as well. Alright, we already knew that March was the best for flying kites, but how aboutairplanes?I have always believed that a pilot must be able to reasonably negotiate all normal conditions that mayconfront them and, even though they may not be as expert at some situations as others, they mustpersevere in their attempts to master all situations. March weather, and especially the strong andgusty winds, will give us all a really good chance to master the art of crosswind landings and handlinggusts as well. Of course we cannot exceed the CAP regulation of a maximum of 15 knots of crosswindcomponent in our practice but you may want to brush up on how that is calculated for a given runwayand reported wind condition (if you havent done that since getting your private, you may want to dustoff that rotary slide rule or electronic equivalent).

We operate out of a single runway airport (PLR) and most of the other ones we use are somewhat ofthe same bent so selecting another runway to take off or land on is really not an option. There willprobably be some crosswind component to deal with during a large percentage of our flying activities.Where to find them if you are looking for them? You need not go far away. If the winds are right downthe runway at PLR, Anniston (ANB) with a 5-23 runway offers a variation and if that is not enough trySylacauga (SCD) with a 9-27 or Gadsden (GAD) with 6-24 and 18-36 runways. Again, I will remindyou to not exceed the 15 knot crosswind rule. If you arent feeling confident enough to challenge somerobust crosswinds on your own, by all means grab one of our excellent CFIs and take them along.The point is, dont hobble your flying opportunities with a fear of crosswinds when they should beentirely within the capabilities of your aircraft and your pilots rating.So you dont feel too bad about your crosswind and gust capabilities, but you want to know the best

techniques to handle them? Again, I defer to our CFIs on this but here are some things I like to doand they have been endorsed by a least some of our CFIs. On final, I prefer to use the crab method at a few hundred feet and then switch to the forward slip justa few feet above the runway. The ultimate goal, of course, is to have the nose of the airplane pointingdirectly down the runway at touchdown. If you dont, you most surely will be in for a sharp turn on therunway in one direction or the other. My justification for delaying the slip until the last moment is thatcrosswinds are almost greater in strength at altitude and my strongest maneuver is the crab and myweakest is the slip. Some will say that you should use the slip at a higher altitude and you will find outif it is strong enough to counteract the crosswind or not and you can make a go -around at higheraltitude. Both methods have merits, and you should practice them enough to make your selectedmethod second nature and not something you should be deciding on short final in gusty conditions.

Speaking of gusts, you should allow a few knots (half of the runway direction gust factor) when youare on final and realize that a squeaker landing in these kind of conditions is not something to pursue.

A good, firm, main wheel landing with the nose pointed down the runway is really perfectionin mostof these conditions.

Share the JoyOne of our responsibilities as Pilots is to share the joy we have of aviation with

others in a safe manner. In the CAP one of the opportunities we have to do that isby giving Cadet Orientation Rides (O-Rides). These are aircraft flights that last

about one hour following a syllabus that has been approved. Each Cadet isallowed five funded Powered Flights, and five funded Glider Flights. If you have

not had the pleasure of giving the First Flight to a Cadet you are truly missing agreat experience.Major Jim Gosnell

Did You Know? . . . Page 5

Did You Know?

Did you know that there is a kidney stone season? NoIm not kidding you. About 30 years ago I began having aterrible pain in my side. A friend of mine had recently

described his experience of having a kidney stone. Mypain sounded just like that. The pain began near the

kidney area and began moving around my side toward my stomach. Only it felt like it wataking a shortcut through the middle of me.

I almost got into my car to drive myself to the hospital, when I suddenly realized that ifthe pain got bad enough, I could pass out while driving. It was already hurting badenough that I was getting sick. So I got on the phone and called for someone to comeand get me. They came quickly and took me to the hospital emergency room. When Iwalked in, all bent over, the nurse took one look at me and said, you are either pregnantor you have a kidney stone. They didnt even make me wait. They took me straight bacto a gurney. Well after a few questions, they took an x-ray. Sure enough, I had a kidneystone.

One the x-ray had confirmed my suspicions, the doctor came back in to tell me and tostart me on some dont care medicine. I continued to hurt but, I didnt seem to careanymore. Then the doctor told me something that I had never heard before. He said thait was kidney stone season. I asked him what he meant. He said that every year,people start getting active in the early Spring and they start losing more fluids. It is

gradual and they dont realize it so, they dont replenish those fluids. Before they know itthey have gotten dehydrated and if they have formed a kidney stone, it starts looking for aplace to go. He said that is what he calls kidney stone season.

Now I dont know true that is or even if it will stand up medically. I do know that itmakes sense to me. However, I dont want for you to think that you are okay the rest ofthe year. The fact is, you can have a kidney stone any time of the year. Man or woman.Many times they are caused by someones diet. The best way to find out what causedyour kidney stone is to strain your urine and to catch the stone and have it analyzed.Hopefully, you will be able to pass it naturally and will not have to have surgery. By theway, my kidney stone was smaller than an apple seed and looked like a porcupine. But ifelt like it was as big as a porcupine. The best thing you can do if you think you arehaving a kidney stone attack is to go to the emergency room and get it checked out. Thecan confirm that it isnt some other problem and give you something for the pain. Theycan also tell you how to avoid them in the future. And now you know.

This why I love to volunteer for the Civil Air Patrol:

Civil Air Patrol inspires youth to be responsible citizens who embody the organizations core values ofrespect, integrity, volunteer service and excellence. In school-or community-based squadrons, cadetsages 12-20 benefit from a complete curriculum that teaches leadership, physical fitness, characterdevelopment and aerospace education. Cadets serve their communities by helping with CAPs

humanitarian efforts.

CAP helped save 32 lives across the nation using such high -tech tools as in-flight video equipment aswell as radar and cell phone forensics software developed by CAP members.

CAPs unpaid professionals representing 20 wings from the Great Lakes, Middle East and Northeastregions helped make sure the hungry were fed and the cold sheltered, as other CAP members andcadets did earlier in the year when Hurricane Isaac struck the Gulf Coast.

CAP aircrews in the skies along with image evaluation teams on the ground, cadets whose own liveswere shattered by Sandy, captured and processed more than 158,000 photos of the hurricanes

destruction one of the largest missions in CAPs history. The images helped provide FEMA as well asstate and local responders with an accurate picture of the damage and where help was needed.

Volunteer hours totaling $155 million in value --better than a 5-to-1 return on $27.8 million in federaloperations and maintenance funding and $1.9 million in state funding --in serving their communities &nation. Too bad the US Government cant work this good.

Just think if we all did little volunteer work in our community now great a country we would be. Join theCivil Air Patrol. (Used by permission from Senior Member Laurence Rose, 2012)
