airbrake

Try to avoid an approach which ends up with a very small amount of airbrake.

The rear access door could also be used as an airbrake to assist in approach control.

This meant, however, that the airbrake could not be used for landings.

The airbrake system has been moved 4cm towards the leading edge and now extends 18mm higher.

Additional airbrake should be available to make the glider stop floating at the right moment.

I always think that it is criminal to undershoot the spot with some airbrake still on.

"They have forgotten or neglected to couple the airbrake pipes up.

It is also surprisingly difficult to hold accurate heading during a full airbrake sideslipping approach.

The engine generates air pressure that is supposed to flow through the airbrake system along the entire length of the train.

The airbrake can then be reduced if necessary for the round-out and landing, provided that there is still plenty of room to do so.

A full airbrake approach is a potential overshoot if the glider flies through any lift.

Most of the Glass ships have spring-loaded airbrake caps.

It has a low aspect ratio wing in order to give fighter like handling and is fitted with an airbrake.

The rear flaps also act as an airbrake.

With no airbrake the glider will float some distance even at low speed, and it must still be held off for a proper touchdown.

However, too much height often leads to situations where even full airbrake cannot prevent a drastic overshoot.

A single airbrake panel opens under the fuselage.

Ormack dropped the landing-gear handle and flipped the airbrake lever full up.

It is also worthwhile attempting the occasional no airbrake touch down to get a better idea of how far your glider will float.

When opening the airbrake disturbs the airfoil shape thereby slowing the mill.

The airbrakes can then be reduced once it is clear that the glider will not overshoot with full airbrake.

It is a skilled exercise which needs careful instruction and supervision before attempting it on the approach with full airbrake.
