Tune-Up Time at Avenal. Tuning up new gliders, old tractors and everything else on the field. There's a work day coming soon to spruce up the place for the spring contest in a little over a month.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig0P4gJBfT1hRmEMkV5_zyGSiVLW3yymXEprQLS0Fj_FlXZ7NppSbSONexnEqSPMpieDCidxaiesupsuKJLkxawx0UP0oySiN30zDi0mSxFwyI7-N9jNh4h9S4CZDapZ9plKDINWiEUwZe5X-A7DJT_KnSC3Ftm3x1IcRIK1erhO6Tx3YGc8a4Q0SibPWF/s4032/Richard%20on%20Tractor.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig0P4gJBfT1hRmEMkV5_zyGSiVLW3yymXEprQLS0Fj_FlXZ7NppSbSONexnEqSPMpieDCidxaiesupsuKJLkxawx0UP0oySiN30zDi0mSxFwyI7-N9jNh4h9S4CZDapZ9plKDINWiEUwZe5X-A7DJT_KnSC3Ftm3x1IcRIK1erhO6Tx3YGc8a4Q0SibPWF/w640-h480/Richard%20on%20Tractor.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <p></p><p>Richard mowing...<br /> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYmCUIdkxdCwWXnrDBsteeW4IzqYqryejLm-cMFjlsIAhST3vH4hflS3ke8fjS4fOLHQuBNlFRB8FNUcwji1MpbmoB4OlOIglAoOVBV85jqHaSHKyW9jpPh9nDc75b2uhMN_s46Nj80UmXuZS0EZ7fUceQ1IBT2CdlVnD-zbb0eUhJrwJrohCIhA1TszJw/s3080/Karl%20Towing.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1736" data-original-width="3080" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYmCUIdkxdCwWXnrDBsteeW4IzqYqryejLm-cMFjlsIAhST3vH4hflS3ke8fjS4fOLHQuBNlFRB8FNUcwji1MpbmoB4OlOIglAoOVBV85jqHaSHKyW9jpPh9nDc75b2uhMN_s46Nj80UmXuZS0EZ7fUceQ1IBT2CdlVnD-zbb0eUhJrwJrohCIhA1TszJw/w640-h360/Karl%20Towing.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>Karl towing...</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOpKRnzo6hzQ2naslTgw5SnlNlvHIPcThDtybR-1H8AY4zByCP_4FWigYCcJn3UxP0YCVNy7Wr-gi8_BGtXzmEiiCh1QDPsDZ00WqF7flCXg1SEw90AxDcl7ewzuA4kymyl__YCcGLYMVOcLEhJc0SSDB0FjuaU7Cp96vct3Tfqt_xiKgYl-jlqpUN_zpd/s2057/Over%20the%20Fence.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1179" data-original-width="2057" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOpKRnzo6hzQ2naslTgw5SnlNlvHIPcThDtybR-1H8AY4zByCP_4FWigYCcJn3UxP0YCVNy7Wr-gi8_BGtXzmEiiCh1QDPsDZ00WqF7flCXg1SEw90AxDcl7ewzuA4kymyl__YCcGLYMVOcLEhJc0SSDB0FjuaU7Cp96vct3Tfqt_xiKgYl-jlqpUN_zpd/w640-h366/Over%20the%20Fence.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>Perfecting patterns...</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOFoHjD9IwkDzHiHJu7GREE0BENx6in__0MLoNTU7B2k3l1a5K6E7R2kAeQL9jZJIl2ordJlDJtbOb8YR7i8qa5PJIlJ-ttf4gKhA6xZ1XEhPHgas9v45fWlM-DG3POTcu0VYJn_mpOz4SutX0ZmZd-yBblE99tN8F25nJOpCg7JSuRPLxkVOlawuS54yy/s3702/ollie%20new%20ride.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2776" data-original-width="3702" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOFoHjD9IwkDzHiHJu7GREE0BENx6in__0MLoNTU7B2k3l1a5K6E7R2kAeQL9jZJIl2ordJlDJtbOb8YR7i8qa5PJIlJ-ttf4gKhA6xZ1XEhPHgas9v45fWlM-DG3POTcu0VYJn_mpOz4SutX0ZmZd-yBblE99tN8F25nJOpCg7JSuRPLxkVOlawuS54yy/w640-h480/ollie%20new%20ride.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p><br />Ollie checking out his new ride - https://www.weglide.org/flight/367149 </p><p>All photos courtesy Mark P<br /></p><p></p><div id="my-extension-root"><div></div></div><div id="my-extension-root"><div></div></div>Kevin Shawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16663011129751523137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676091950121028068.post-8212292240824240422024-03-02T22:06:00.000-08:002024-03-03T12:39:40.095-08:00Spring is Coming Soon<b>Are you ready?</b><br />

a lap on the forecasted convergence between EL2 and Wright, and then
final glide into Avenal. We set a backup task B, which was a simple
O&R to EL2. The start was a 2 sm cylinder around Black Mountain. <div><br /></div><div>Morgan
and I launched around 12:20 to sniff and found enough to sustain
altitude to 3000' msl, so at 12:45, the fleet was launched, despite the
increasingly thickening cirrus layer. The hope was to open the task
around 2 pm, but even after all had been launched, the highest the
valley thermals were reaching was ~3500' msl. Finally, around 3 pm, a
handful of ships were able to pop above the inversion and get on top of
Black Mountain. With only a few ships positioned to start together, I
made the call to cancel the day. 20C, 16, 2T, 9, and ZY were able to
complete task B (unscored), using soft blue convergence to make the jump
between Black Mountain and EL4 where the first clouds were. After
tagging the single turnpoint, the gliders on task took high final glide
climbs around EL4. Most contestant's traces are posted on OLC/WeGlide.</div><div> </div><div><b><span style="font-weight: 400;"><hr /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></b></div><b><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span></span></span></b></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

<div><br /></div><div>Final Instructional day of 2022. Thanks to Kevin for coming out to provide instruction for the two students and to perform a 1-26 checkout for Chris O.</div><div><br /></div><div>Larry was at the airport early in an attempt to continue clearing the remaining brush from trees at the arrival end of 30. Kevin and I were trying to arrive around 9:00 in order to assist with the dump runs, but the winter thule fog had other ideas. We flew over from KSBP in the Citabria and upon clearing Tar Peak, we could see a line of fog running down 33 that was 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile wide. </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvR3cludn2B_9N8KQU9J4jfJxocSxbtG9twUVQ6f_OhSMNrIvIgHHfn243KRE9OKz7GUPNIUcrsWMpE6dlCGwOLVOBm1curk4dqGT-hECzlYJlvsHx7mrc3qWKd6pMe6D-v_Ostaz7JIQCgdX6W7ymkoXylRQYpW7n6pK9IjYWwD9cQIZFz4hvDlbM/s4032/IMG_6966.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Fog shrouding the airport early" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvR3cludn2B_9N8KQU9J4jfJxocSxbtG9twUVQ6f_OhSMNrIvIgHHfn243KRE9OKz7GUPNIUcrsWMpE6dlCGwOLVOBm1curk4dqGT-hECzlYJlvsHx7mrc3qWKd6pMe6D-v_Ostaz7JIQCgdX6W7ymkoXylRQYpW7n6pK9IjYWwD9cQIZFz4hvDlbM/w640-h480/IMG_6966.HEIC" title="Fog shrouding the airport early" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Thin layer envelopes the airport. Clear just across the street in town's "heat island."<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>We circled the airport for a bit and it looked quite patchy and very thin and in the process of clearing. The palm trees and hangars were visible and you could see down through the layer no problem. I set up an approach to 30 and at about 400ft, the slant angle visibility just went away. So we climbed back up. Stared at the clearly visible trailers and runway and thought "Oh, it's changing pretty quickly" so we loitered while it cleared up and made another approach with the same result. It was clear about the middle of the Solar farm and west, but all runways were obscured once you were looking through the fog at a slant rather than straight down. I made one more low approach before abandoning the idea and heading to Coalinga which was clear. We only needed about 15 minutes on the ground at Coalinga for Chris to text me that it had cleared. So much for arriving early.</div><div><br /></div><div>Larry had made a few loads of brush to the dump in his pickup. Given the delay in our arrival, I went to work on prepping the Pawnee which hadn't flown in a few months due to registration delays at the FAA.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kevin finished up Chris's cockpit checkout for the 1-26 and they got the gliders pulled down to the launch area for 30.</div><div><br /></div><div>Chris took his first tow in the 1-26 which was my first tow in the Pawnee. Despite Dan's "No zoomies" admonition during our Pawnee tow pilot briefing, a full power departure in cold, thick air with the 1-26 yields a pretty rapid transition to a steep climb attitude to keep the airspeed reasonable. Chis followed well despite my shortcomings in giving him a boring first departure. A standard box departure had us abeam the 30 numbers at 2000agl.

<hr /><p>Autumn '22 saw some good days out at Avenal.</p><p>It started on the last day of Summer. The soaring forecast showed good lift, and relatively high bases over the Valley. Sure enough, our XC guys had some nice flights and even a couple of the club Schweizers were up and away on multi-hour flights. Some flight logs are here - </p><p><a href="https://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-3.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=9211486#map=34.9985%2C-122.8052%2C37.1209%2C-117.4109">Morgan</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-3.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=9215514#comment=undefined&map=">Kevin</a></p><p><a href="https://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-3.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=9211572#comment=undefined&map=">Eric</a> <br /></p><p>Here is Eric's comment on his flight - </p><p>"I deviated from my plan of heading north along the ridge after releasing
over tar peak when I began to chase clouds to the southwest. I ended up
flying through Avenal canyon at low altitude without a good land-out
picked out. Because I was so focused on finding lift under the clouds I
was chasing, and because I was in 6kts+ of sink, by the time I noticed
my glide computer drop below glide back to Avenal, it was impossible to
turn around and fly back through the sink. I was able to spot what
looked like a good land-out when I was at about 2500 feet, and around 3
miles away. It was a long and straight dirt road with a house next to
it. As I dropped my gear and prepared to fly a pattern, I found a good
climb and got out of the valley then proceeded to have an enjoyable
flight. I'll be inspecting the condition of the road and noting any
fences on my way out to Avenal next time I go. Before this, I hadn't
experienced tunnel vision(chasing clouds stupidly) while soaring, but
now that I know I'm susceptible to it, I can recognize it and avoid it
in the future."</p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">In October, we had a work-day at Avenal and got a lot of good maintenance and clean-up work done. Zach summarized some of the accomplishments from the day:</p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal">Club house bathrooms sprayed for insects and deep cleaned<br />Cessna Hangar decluttered and cleaned<br />Patio and picnic tables power washed<br />Vegetation on the runway and shade structure removed<br />Tetrahedron repainted<br />Shelters and trash removed and transported to the dump<br />Barbed wire fence repaired around staging area<br />Black Golfcart tire changed<br />Club Gliders washed<br />Shade structure cleared for towplane use</p>
<p></p><p>Mid-November saw David get checked out in the 1-26. His technique on launch and landing was very good. Larry got this video - </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw5Xe8v3eRl4mTgN5fpDIB1TD7CKSatHOOlNeje5ah6iS_dMHLIdqgL9j2vvovPgHnPIgJ0WF-VNhGEVYViLw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div> <p></p><p>Later in November, Chris added a Glider rating to his commercial pilot certificate. Dan was the DPE administering the practical test.<br /></p><p>Pre-frontal, wet wave brought some great early December flights by
Morgan & Zach - logs & spectacular pictures are here - </p><p><a href="https://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-3.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=9253609#map=">Zach</a><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-3.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?dsId=9253559#map=">Morgan</a> </p><p>Here's Morgan's description of the day - </p><p>"Very wet wave made for well marked lines, but cut routes shorter than we
hoped for. Raining at dawn and the field was nearly IFR at times.
Cleared enough to let us launch, but concern about the timing of the
frontal arrival had us call it a day early. Would have liked to jump
down towards the San Gabriel’s, but the tops of the lennies were well
above 18k. Thanks to Jim for towing, Chris for running wings and Zach
for being the motivator."</p><p></p><p>On our last day of operations this Autumn, Chris got his 1-26 checkout and his flights too were really smooth and precise. Brandon took these shots - </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTnd7Ixu_vYkqg1Eg3c5059xt-WOm-_XZ6WM-SG6LXHRPEPQORnZ_piB5rQaEEhkoCejBKOq3nZtrJL49pJeI7mlegwKc39tAyxZ3DfVcSAEPT7vFKIgz1uJibNs6mB9FmOFnRe_5SheUHneYRVPxgXTGapE4fh7xpcVCQwDLBY3jbVcUWBMpEI0rVLg/s2434/Chris%20Landing.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1446" data-original-width="2434" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTnd7Ixu_vYkqg1Eg3c5059xt-WOm-_XZ6WM-SG6LXHRPEPQORnZ_piB5rQaEEhkoCejBKOq3nZtrJL49pJeI7mlegwKc39tAyxZ3DfVcSAEPT7vFKIgz1uJibNs6mB9FmOFnRe_5SheUHneYRVPxgXTGapE4fh7xpcVCQwDLBY3jbVcUWBMpEI0rVLg/s320/Chris%20Landing.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTKfJYWKyVgK2g26Qh8ymrQYJC8w-cTeDBGjnAo-eS1T6WzJ7MZzAc3V7Vqcnq8dIxlb_0tGD218eTQ4oH_SE4rvMY4ubQ5uAS-FQGoIcoWYemPtcepiwquIh1c0oCF20PbfBiYhowu5Mpcrzt1MdnL2DWsy4r_wNeEshReNQ_435NOBuUd6E3veJ5Eg/s3322/Chris%20First%20Launch.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1907" data-original-width="3322" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTKfJYWKyVgK2g26Qh8ymrQYJC8w-cTeDBGjnAo-eS1T6WzJ7MZzAc3V7Vqcnq8dIxlb_0tGD218eTQ4oH_SE4rvMY4ubQ5uAS-FQGoIcoWYemPtcepiwquIh1c0oCF20PbfBiYhowu5Mpcrzt1MdnL2DWsy4r_wNeEshReNQ_435NOBuUd6E3veJ5Eg/s320/Chris%20First%20Launch.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> We will likely have some good soaring days over the winter months - watch the soaring forecasts and stay current so you'll be ready to take advantage.</p><p>Happy Holidays and here's looking forward to 2023 at Avenal.<br /></p><div id="my-extension-root"><div></div></div><div id="my-extension-root"><div></div></div><div id="my-extension-root"><div></div></div>Kevin Shawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16663011129751523137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676091950121028068.post-34960245935149200432022-06-05T09:43:00.001-07:002022-06-05T09:44:18.385-07:00Saturday June 4th, 2022: Chris O.

We were able to get 15+ flights! </div><div><br /></div><div>Kevin was able to get 3 FAST Rides in to Robert, Mike and Kirsty. I was able to get in 5 flights in for checkride prep! For glass ships, Peter helped Richard get familiar with glider 06; they both took turns taking 06 out over black with plenty of luck finding lift. Meanwhile Mitch had a great flight in DL also flying west to Black and Tar.</div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676091950121028068.post-19898925650153901292022-05-26T21:05:00.002-07:002022-05-27T06:07:36.618-07:00May 14, 15, 21, & 22 Avenal Contest<b>WEATHER</b> <br />

<hr /><p>
</p><p>Day 2, Sunday, May 15<br /><u>Tow pilot</u>s Dan Gudgel in "Red Tow" and Andrew Ouellet in "White Tow." </p><p>Sunday's weather was a significant improvement over Saturday. We all
woke up to a sky filled with mid level cirrus that slowly burned off as
the morning progressed. Skysight showed thermal tops at 10500' in the
early afternoon at both Wright and Black, with a hint of cu over San
Benito around 4 pm. Also shown was blue convergence running from EL5 to
the Temblors.</p><div><br /></div><div>The task called had a nominal distance of 221 miles (355 km):</div><div>Start Tar Peak</div><div>EL3 1 sm</div><div>Bitterwasser 3 sm min, handicapped</div><div>San Benito Mtn 1 sm</div><div>Avenal Finish 1sm<br /><div><br /></div><div>We
launched at 12:30 as the last of the cirrus was passing over Black.
This proved a slight challenge and delayed the opening of the 5 minute
start window until 1:50 to allow all but one competitor to climb up to
the 6000' start ceiling. As we flew north towards EL3, we were happy to
see wispy cu beginning to form over Wright approximately 11,500ft high.
By the time the last of the gaggle were turning south, the cu covered
about a 5 mile area and marked the tops of 8-10 kt climbs. Alex Neigher
(4B) found the highest climb of the day around this time to 11,400 ft.
The run south rewarded those who were able to sniff out the blue
convergence and took us to the north end of the california valley, no
clouds in sight. Climbs were available, but more dispersed and weaker
south of Black mtn. The run back north was similar to the south leg, I
found myself off the line, too far to the east and had to dig out of
black from below ridge height while the rest of the group who were able
to stay connected blew by me a mile above. Climbs got strong again
around Center peak, with quite a few of us finding 8,9,and even 10kts
bottom to top. Many got above final glide prior to rounding the final
turnpoint and were able to take final glides in excess of 100 kts due to
the buoyant air all around San Benito Mountain. </div></div><div><br /></div><div>Congratulations
to Wyll Soll for finishing the task in 3:18:48 with an average speed of
67.3 mph (108 kph)! Below are the other preliminary results. </div><div><br /></div><img alt="image.png" class="CToWUd a6T" data-image-whitelisted="" height="188" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=1ca28bb1b4&attid=0.1&permmsgid=msg-f:1733047073231670791&th=180d05218b010e07&view=fimg&fur=ip&sz=s0-l75-ft&attbid=ANGjdJ_7d0R83YXoTFYJS3rl1QTXgTSY9o5fX4hVJHO4G62irqaaazk0kFbPbQP9naXytf_6AbRodnKpn7Ty2Ol6vG3Ni13RAsUzrqyQ2NwioaC8IZbVRe-4sdXA95k&disp=emb&realattid=ii_l39ndgy80" tabindex="0" width="542" /><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

</p><p></p><p>Day 3, May 21, 2022<br />Tow Pilots: Morgan Hall in "Red Tow" and Jim Rickey in "White Tow."<br /></p><p>Today's forecast delivered! Although the mountains were completely blue,
strong climbs, and prominent convergence ran the length of the San
Benitos. Plenty of 10 kt climbs were found on course, topping out at
10,000 ft. The task began again at Tar with a 6000' start ceiling at
12:40, up to EL1, down to Blackwell, then rounding Harris Ranch on final
glide, 212 mi nominal distance. All competitors made at least 2 of the
turnpoints and everyone made it home for our contest banquet. </p><div><br /></div><div>Thomas Greenhill turned in an impressive 78 mph task speed, winning the day 14 minutes ahead of the rest of the pack. </div><div><br /></div><div>Below are the day's scores as well as preliminary cumulative times for the competitors. </div><div><br /></div><div>Tomorrow is our final day, with high cirrus forecast. Tasking will likely keep us closer to Avenal similar to Day 1. </div><div><br /></div><div>Zach</div><br /><br /><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" dir="ltr" style="border-collapse: collapse;

benefited from increased wing loading Sunday seeing how much tri tip
was consumed :) We were very fortunate to wake up to a completely
different forecast than that of Saturday night. The cirrus outlook
dramatically improved, skysight still showed some patched passing
through, but the day turned out to be mostly cirrus free. The task we
improvised (Avenal, York Rd, EL7, New Coaling, Dudley Ridge, EL5,
Avenal) kept us mostly off the mountains in the early afternoon, with
the thought that we would allow the high ground more time to start
working before a run up north later in the afternoon. </div><div><br /></div><div>We
launched the grid at 12:30 and opened the start gate at 13:40. A few
contestants were able to reach 8000' over black while waiting for the
start gate to open so we likely could have done another mountain task;
however, keeping us off the high terrain proved to be a doable challenge
for the group. Climbs off the high terrain were weaker and more
dispersed, as expected. The front gaggle was able to avoid getting stuck
for the first 4 turnpoints, and all elected to take an indirect route
to the final turnpoint (EL5) by following the ridgeline out to the west.
It was a little slow for everyone reconnecting with the convergence
around Black the second time. The blue convergence set up far west, I
ended up committed to parkfield before finding a climb about 5 miles
west of black that got me back on the line northbound. </div><div><br /></div><div>Congratulations to David who won the day, and further widened his first place lead. </div><img alt="image.png" class="CToWUd a6T" data-image-whitelisted="" height="209" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=1ca28bb1b4&attid=0.1&permmsgid=msg-f:1733671942638729839&th=180f3d724a0afa6f&view=fimg&fur=ip&sz=s0-l75-ft&attbid=ANGjdJ9uACY20JqNoAomPeolC43hbbQNGJPXbHtkit0tpo8DmTdg1G5ohBVjh7zl3FZ238kox51Lfw8Na5WaR9MZwiKnMx6gCfVus4_XTIzCwfkogg34caWvUhaHvNs&disp=emb&realattid=ii_l3ji88mq0" tabindex="0" width="541" />Jim Rickeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11695112806774498466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676091950121028068.post-51438228360123841092022-05-14T23:15:00.001-07:002022-05-14T23:15:35.830-07:00May 14, 2022, Contest Day 1<b>WEATHER</b> <br />

<hr /><p>
Today brought a bit of post-frontal thermal soaring, and a bit of rain and wind. Several flew, from a few minutes around the pattern to a few hours of nearby XC. It was a reminder that spring is on the way, but not quite here yet.</p><p>As the days lengthen and temperatures rise, be sure to come out and stay current and proficient for the good soaring ahead.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I flew XD since Julie was out of town. After a couple of abbreviated pattern tows to get current I took a third tow. Most of the valley was in shadow, so it took a tow nearly to the mountains to connect with any lift. Once off tow it was a soft climb initially. 1-2kts. Then I pushed a bit more to the west and picked up a bit stronger lift. Above 4000 I followed line towards Coalinga and it wasn't exactly ripping, but it was working. By cruising at 50-60kts I was able to slowly climb in the convergence and cloud surf along shelf near Coalinga and ran north for about 30 miles before needing to thermal again.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLxzMZ-ZRGHHstylkV8KVg9ykUfZCC-8no2E7N5ebSvDI0_VOlPHjVmjXx28IreN6stKDvyfwRPk55NSdQWugfA0y0IK-ownZRgXjRx6CpRjmEFpTPdOC9bmRtPqtjfs26nJcZRotl5z2sVd0FKfO44Nwo0kz-YaYjuy9yPq31FH-Jsu4AZ3f822Mb=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLxzMZ-ZRGHHstylkV8KVg9ykUfZCC-8no2E7N5ebSvDI0_VOlPHjVmjXx28IreN6stKDvyfwRPk55NSdQWugfA0y0IK-ownZRgXjRx6CpRjmEFpTPdOC9bmRtPqtjfs26nJcZRotl5z2sVd0FKfO44Nwo0kz-YaYjuy9yPq31FH-Jsu4AZ3f822Mb=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Cloud shelfs along the convergence with bases varying by several thousand feet.</td></tr></tbody></table><p>It was very cold. Freezing level varied a bit, but above 4000 was at or below freezing for most of the flight and the convergence was completely overcast, so I didn't see the sun for most of the flight. Maybe 10 minutes of the entire flight had sun in the cockpit and it was so nice when it happened. Numerous times during the flight I picked up some icing on the wings from sleet that froze to the surface. Nothing significant, but enough to degrade glide performance if it had been needed. The convergence was pretty consistent and aligned with the forecast in Skysight. The LX9000 has the Skysight overlay and generally it works well. There are times when it's just wrong, but on a day like today with all the cloud cover, you knew where it was or wasn't.</p><p>I pressed up to the hills NE of Hollister. I did consider crossing them and running up to Santa Cruz, but cloudbase was low and there was a lot of overdevelopment. I didn't want to get trapped on the west side of the mountains and that seemed like a real possibility given the OD observed on the San Benito range and near Hernandez reservoir. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgoQZFxjNLqXAvEt_1D1TOxaM49xpRyYAqCH8sGeE1W-yj3Etp3H-YvGw-DXOp2Z5lY2sQQJ929Y6_nF8Jp2rT1foZ69B7vDYXaeXD27CZyYRmjWEZyIrX89nLerhvzAxk27zEqHDU01YhUMDLqGAvYdKEBQ59vWPxvN3r-S_X7cLLVA1dZHoab6kD0=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgoQZFxjNLqXAvEt_1D1TOxaM49xpRyYAqCH8sGeE1W-yj3Etp3H-YvGw-DXOp2Z5lY2sQQJ929Y6_nF8Jp2rT1foZ69B7vDYXaeXD27CZyYRmjWEZyIrX89nLerhvzAxk27zEqHDU01YhUMDLqGAvYdKEBQ59vWPxvN3r-S_X7cLLVA1dZHoab6kD0=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Looking west towards Hollister.

Kurt Thams joined up on my wing briefly in his RV6 before throttling back up and departing with a nice aileron roll.</p><p>Short video clip here:</p><p><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/GGtf8ewe2xrsvGPQ7">https://photos.app.goo.gl/GGtf8ewe2xrsvGPQ7</a></p><p>Back near Panoche VOR things turned soft. It was probably working over Panoche, but I'd placed myself a bit far to the north of that retracing my steps. BG had joined me around this time, though he was 1000ft higher. We both turned for the valley where there were nice shaped cu and sun hitting the ground.</p><p>Climbs in the valley were hit and miss. 1 in 4 clouds was working I'd say which is never good for boosting confidence. There was also a significant line of shadow to cross between Cotto and Harris Agro West. Cloudbase was a bit lower, maybe 5600, but when a good core was found, the climbs were decent and 4+ knots at times. </p><p>I originally thought I would run out towards Fresno and then down towards Paramount/Wonderful and back, but all of the Kettleman hills and plains looked completely shut down with OD. I didn't really see a viable route around that and with Lizzy in the truck, I didn't want to landout when I had a very good chance of getting final glide soon. </p><p>I picked up a climb near Harris Agro West and used that to cross back over to a patch of sun north of the Coalinga Airport. The climbs weren't great, but they were sufficient to give me final glide with a bit of margin. Avenal was completely overcast with precipitation to the west and lingering snow/ice blowoff throughout most of the valley. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi4Z2ph2Q8sIZdb8j0Sp4xrRz6C4Yoj9lWe5JwhG0Z6f2pT3mg3b2xwdNQ4Z114Sp4dDR-q1SMqyCt4DxpdYOkpp0FNKc86aOvQcieDZ8NM1Z2wvGdeeLyvrpU0Tk6xd3VhhYRk0HacRb2-_vSeStEnwABC3FVyiHKgMepRVaJN00d5FAk_QDyCKpqP=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi4Z2ph2Q8sIZdb8j0Sp4xrRz6C4Yoj9lWe5JwhG0Z6f2pT3mg3b2xwdNQ4Z114Sp4dDR-q1SMqyCt4DxpdYOkpp0FNKc86aOvQcieDZ8NM1Z2wvGdeeLyvrpU0Tk6xd3VhhYRk0HacRb2-_vSeStEnwABC3FVyiHKgMepRVaJN00d5FAk_QDyCKpqP=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Leaving behind the last signs of lift. </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiMLlSawJ67LFHJVHJywwyZFOHbxbTyEva_8bGsJA0x73ox8XlHANEvZBBKmGid484_bumWiU5SdTyeIPob398Ja9CJbc2lIYyV8P72ym38SFJqhCA39CLyydZE5l3wjlg3PNbRaFWqaB7NL_91qZ6VcDeTFVqHsAx27PRuMHrEd2XzKKTSm0QgFpXJ=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiMLlSawJ67LFHJVHJywwyZFOHbxbTyEva_8bGsJA0x73ox8XlHANEvZBBKmGid484_bumWiU5SdTyeIPob398Ja9CJbc2lIYyV8P72ym38SFJqhCA39CLyydZE5l3wjlg3PNbRaFWqaB7NL_91qZ6VcDeTFVqHsAx27PRuMHrEd2XzKKTSm0QgFpXJ=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Heading into the grey back to Avenal. </td></tr></tbody></table><p>Kevin gave me the report that the runway was pretty muddy and suggested picking somewhere with some grass to land.

<u>Tow pilot</u>: Kyle Hyde<br /><div><br /></div><div>It was a nice day at Avenal today, with good training conditions. I had to leave early. So I only made 3 flights today in N3613F, but I think the people that came out got some good practice. I flew with Christian Cueto and Gordon Cloes. Christian is getting more flights under his belt and Gordon is already a rated pilot who has both a private power rating and also a helicopter rating. They are both doing well, and I think will be ready to solo in the near future. Quinn Marsh also made 2 solo flights in the other 2-33, "22S" today. Also spending time at the field today was Rob Seerey. He also was at the field the week before. He had visited Tehachapi and the Fantasy Haven gliderport the week before that, and has an interest in Soaring and learning to fly. He spent both days at Avenal helping out and learning a lot on the ground. He helped run wings, hook up tow lines, charged the battery on the winch, and was generally quite helpful. He asked a lot of good questions and seemed genuinely interested in soaring, and to be soaking up a lot of information. He also seemed to have mechanical talents and since he had spent so much time and energy traveling to gliderports in our general area, it seemed to me like he had earned a glider flight, and would appreciate and enjoy one. Near the end of the day on Saturday, we asked him if he wanted to take a FAST ride, but it seemed to be a bit expensive, as did joining the club right now. So I offered to give him a ride at my expense, if he'd give us a copy or a link to any photos or video </div><div>he had taken at Avenal or at Fantasy Haven or Mojave recently during his travels. I believe CCSA member Carl Lindgren was at Fantasy Haven on Sept. 4th, so he may show up in Rob's video down below. Rob is interested not only in soaring, but in other things as well, such as road trips, music, trains, old cars, ravens, sea otters and other topics, as you will see in his </div><div>video link just below!</div><div> <a href="https://youtu.be/hDOXMCKmjZM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" style="background-color: white; color: #338fe9; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline-width: 0px;" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/hDOXMCKmjZM</a></div>Alex Caldwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11647357142613472842noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676091950121028068.post-21701122331816749792021-09-18T21:17:00.002-07:002021-09-18T21:17:27.962-07:00The Real Thing<b>WEATHER</b> <br />

We train for rope breaks and other PT3 events, but most tows are pretty predictable and uneventful. Rick tried a few <i>simulated </i>rope breaks today and handled each one in the right way.

After sticking it out with his instructor Alex Caldwell (R) , passing his pre solo written exam, and wading through getting his temporary student license through the FAA's IACRA web site. Quinn made 3 very nice solo flights today in our SGS 2-33A, "Big Bird", N3613F. In fact, he seemed to find weak lift, and had our longest flight of the day! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yes! I am beginning to think these clothes do make me look short! Will have to talk to wife Diana about these clothes she's been getting me! They also seem to make it appear that my stomach sticks out in front a bit! Another thing I'm noticing is how these new digital cameras make it look like your hair is thinning on top and turning grey! Funny, we never used to see that effect before with the old Kodak Instamatic film cameras we used to use in gliding although they did have that same "shortening" effect, but curiously, not the "enlarged stomach" effect! It may be something to do with the default lens focal length, perhaps kind of a "fish eye" lens effect, that may also be causing the hair thinning and "shiny on top" head effect! The "gray hair color effect" is likely some kind of "chromatic aberration" problem with the new digital photography, possibly, (I hope)! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGH8z2MHYtwjKs6XK9oLys01VT7ipJMXNduNV9U_K1tO0APb1AuqAMPIQv7chz54HXsJDch2sithyQ04JpxTUVljlrisJP4HsE0CmR138nFolUCuZOANmCYm6CXLUwztK7lFTWVNh-h_E/s2048/0814211239d_Film4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGH8z2MHYtwjKs6XK9oLys01VT7ipJMXNduNV9U_K1tO0APb1AuqAMPIQv7chz54HXsJDch2sithyQ04JpxTUVljlrisJP4HsE0CmR138nFolUCuZOANmCYm6CXLUwztK7lFTWVNh-h_E/s320/0814211239d_Film4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Newly rated ( a week ago last Thursday) glider pilot Carl Lindgren(L) came out to schmooze with last week's recommending instructor Caldwell(R) and also made 3 good flights, as PIC, in our club's SGS 1-26E single place sailplane. I think he might be looking to accumulate experience, so he can fly the club's DG 100 sailplane next! Carl has a lot of farming experience in his background, and was seen today removing tumbleweeds with a shovel from the glider tie down area after finishing flying. He also knows how to drive a tractor, and has an impressive tolerance to working outside in the oppressive heat we've had all this summer at Avenal! <br /> Also flying with Caldwell today was Christian Cueto, from the Cal Poly University Akaflieg Group, who is doing very well. He practiced low and high tows today, boxing the wake, and practiced premature termination of the tow, light cross wind, as well as accuracy landings. Christian is well on his way to soloing, I strongly suspect.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Private Glider Pilot John Harbick came out today, arriving at 06:30, and expecting a grueling flight review with instructor Caldwell. His previous flight review was found to still be valid, until the end of June, 2022, however. So he made three nice solo refresher flights in "Big Bird". It actually appeared from the ground, that he was doing quite a bit better without Caldwell even being on board! We think his previous flying experience back in Viet Nam, as a copilot/observer in Forward Air Controller aircraft is paying off for him! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Quinn make a cool video of his first solo glider flight today. I'm the one holding the nose of the glider down at the very beginning as he gets in. I also checked the seatbelts in the back cockpit to be sure they were secure and were not going to be able to catch the controls back there. I also secured the back door. I think most of that was edited out of the video. Be sure to have your sound turned up!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu7uvQllMKw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu7uvQllMKw</a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Alex Caldwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11647357142613472842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676091950121028068.post-71391265207569257632021-08-09T19:08:00.177-07:002021-08-11T00:01:37.987-07:00Saturday, August 7, 2021<b>WEATHER</b> <br />

Hanford AWOS was reporting visibility of 4.5 miles in "haze". We could just make out Tar Canyon and Tar Peak to the SW of the field, so that seemed about right. We could not make out Black Mountain to the West, which is a bit further away at about 7.5 to 8 miles distance. Rick Ibarra and Quinn Marsh came out, and we decided to do some training flights. Carl Lindgren also came by but did not fly today. Congratulations to Carl on passing his private pilot practical test last Thursday with DPE Dan Gudgel! Flight visibility was pretty poor all day. We've been pretty lucky so far this year not to have had a lot of smokey days from all the fires, but our luck ran out today. We only did pattern tows today. Both Quinn and Rick got quite a bit of practice at "premature termination of the tow" rope breaks, as well as "no wing runner" take offs, and take offs and landings on different runways. In some directions, we didn't have a distinct horizon, but we could always make out references on the ground, and Tar Peak and Tar Canyon. On one flight, Rick found a nice thermal right after releasing at 1100 ft AGL. He was able to climb up to 2950 ft. MSL. We quit there, because of the smoke and reduced visibility. Both Quinn and Rick are very close to being able to solo. Rick is a licensed power pilot with instrument and multi-engine ratings, and is looking over the glider Pre-Solo test I gave him, and Quinn just finished his IACRA application for his required FAA Student License, and is also doing the FAA required pre-solo test. The "Skew-T" App, a free app available for the Android system, that I have on my phone, pulls up a forecast from the "Op40" computer model forecast. For Avenal Airport, it indicated thermals could go up to as high as 5500 MSL in mid afternoon. But I don't believe that model takes into account the effects of smoke on cutting down the heating, due to the reduced amount of sunlight reaching the ground. It also does not say anything about the effect of the smoke on flight visibility. I'm sure the thermal we had would have gone somewhat higher, but we quit trying, due to the poor visibility. I actually don't think any of the currently popular computer based soaring forecasts take wildfire smoke into account. There is, however, a newer "Experimental" version of the HRRR (High resolution Rapid Refresh) computer model available from the NWS that does try to take the effects of smoke into account. That new HRRR computer may become more useful. It also forecasts a visibility parameter, which should be useful for soaring, as well as other types of flying.

Aaaaahhhh, at last. Summer in Avenal.

He has flown at Avenal and also in Colorado at Steamboat Springs. Patrick also has quite number of winch launches at Steamboat Springs, which is uncommon at Avenal. In any case, we did one practice rope break at about 250 - 300 ft. AGL and were able to make a left turn and land on runway 8 with a slight right crosswind. Patrick handled that well, and then after reviewing and discussing his pre-solo written test, he made two solo fights and did very well. There was less wind shear today between the surface and the first 2-4 thousand feet of altitude than last week. So the tows were not quite as rough. There were 5 private ships and the 1-26 that had gridded and were anxious to launch, so we let all of them, except Carl in the 1-26 get going before cutting Patrick loose. They all got away after making one circuit of the field and then towing out towards Tar Peak. We were getting radio reports that they were getting good climbs to about 8500 ft. MSL out in that direction. So Patrick had the sky over Avenal Airport mostly to himself when he finally got in the air for his solos. His take offs, tows and landings were all good. Unfortunately, he didn't contact lift on either flight, so he wasn't able to stay up and soar. But he handled the patterns and landings very well on both of his flights. He looked like he was appropriately "Stoked" after landing! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_NecHXZqFTLGZJjsdTr-849oD4gzy4fhY1BExWzUwQ8m2zzndK647HNp_qyMGO0gmAtCtBN3DVSElXeiVrz9RoJ_OPv8vRyM3yXboA1ps9AhFSeL6Ygk5M16CSXY_f2wfuATWXp0zdd4/s1080/thumbnail+%25283%2529.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_NecHXZqFTLGZJjsdTr-849oD4gzy4fhY1BExWzUwQ8m2zzndK647HNp_qyMGO0gmAtCtBN3DVSElXeiVrz9RoJ_OPv8vRyM3yXboA1ps9AhFSeL6Ygk5M16CSXY_f2wfuATWXp0zdd4/s320/thumbnail+%25283%2529.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Do these clothes make me look short?</div><div><br /></div><div>Next up in the 2-33 trainer was Quinn Marsh, he had an excellent soaring flight and was up just over an hour. He got a lot of thermalling practice, with some very nice cumulus clouds forming just over the field by then. He got us up to 8700 ft MSL. Quinn spotted a power plane at our same altitude, that appeared to be transiting the area, heading towards the coast, possibly in the direction of the Avenal VOR, San Luis Obispo, Oceano, or maybe Santa Maria, etc. We kept our eye on him to be sure he was leaving the area. I told Quinn that I doubted that they ever saw us, most likely. Then, we were able to practice slow flight (flight at minimum controllable airspeed in today's jargon). After doing some "clearing turns" to be sure there was no other traffic in the area, we did some stalls from straight and level flight, and from medium banked turns, with and without dive brakes. We also did some incipient spin entries. Quinn used the rudder to pick up the low wing, avoiding using the ailerons for that purpose, until regaining flying speed on the recovery from the stalls and incipient spins. We also did forward slips using highway 33 as a ground reference. We did slips to a landing on runway 30 with a slight right crosswind on landing, which Quinn did quite well. He also did very well overall, and I anticipate he will be ready to solo quite soon. We spotted Carl Lindgren, who was flying the 1-26 and was about a thousand feet higher than we were, even though he took off after we did. So Carl was having a lot of fun, I think!</div><div>Next up was Piper Banys. She is also doing quite well, and has already soloed before. She has very good preflight procedures, including going through the preflight checklist, carefully and thoroughly, and yet confidently, and also in a timely manner, so as not to waste too much "tow plane sitting on the ground with the engine running" time. </div><div>She has a nice smooth touch on the controls. She did the take off and flew the whole tow by herself. She got a lot of thermalling practice and she got us up to just over 7000 ft. MSL. On the way down, she got more practice with slow flight, a few stalls, and then a good left hand pattern for runway 30L. It had gotten a bit windier on the surface by the time we flew. There had been just a bit of dust getting picked up by the wind down near the take off area of runway 30R. It was blowing just about straight down runway 30, with maybe just a little cross wind from the right, if I recall correctly. She added about 5-10 kts of extra airspeed in the landing pattern because of the wind. We also turned onto base leg a little bit sooner than we would have in no wind conditions, which she seemed to judge well. We were up for almost exactly 1 hour.</div><div>Last up was Nick Costa , who lives over between Tulare and Visalia near Mooney Grove Park. He has been up in light power planes, but not in a glider before. His father, who was here today also, is a former member of our club, and had soloed in a glider in about the year 2000 out at Avenal under CFI Dan Gudgel, he believes. He has two other young relatives he would like to bring out in the next few weeks and get a FAST lesson for them too. Nick had a good flight of about 45 minutes or so. It was getting later by then, and the lift seemed to be weakening some, but we still got to about 4500 ft. MSL. He flew the glider for a good bit of time, and was asking a lot of good questions. Hopefully, he'll be able to come back and do some more gliding and soaring at Avenal. Nick and his Father helped get 13F to it's tie down spot, and helped out with all aspects of securing the glider until the next time it flies. </div><div>The private ships seemed to all have good flights. I wasn't able to verify how far each ship flew, but I saw one picture that Carl Engel showed us that he took from the back seat of "H5", Morgan Hall's Duo Discus, that showed the Big Sur coastline. It looked like they were a little ways out over the ocean (but still within easy gliding distance of the shoreline). Morgan was one of the last to land back at the field at Avenal, and made a blistering run down runway 12, followed by a pull up with a teardrop pattern and landing on runway 30. Zach Yamauchi was aiming to fly up to Monterey Airport and land there. I didn't see him return, so I'm assuming he was able to reach his goal. Also flying was Julie Butler in "XD", her sports car like Discus A. Quinn Marsh and I were still up, and were able to watch from about 5000 ft. MSL as Julie approached Avenal from the South and made her pattern and landing on runway 30. Also out flying in their own ships were Richard Walker in his yellow Schweizer 1-35 "181" that has 90 dev. flaps for glide path control and dispenses with dive brakes, Karl Kunz in "GD", his beautiful AS-W 20. </div><div><br /></div><div>There were several very long flights made yesterday from Avenal. Morgan Hall flew yesterday approx. 850 some kilometers in a large rectangle, going south towards New Cuyama , then across the bottom of the San Joaquin Valley towards Tehachapi, and then North along the Sierras up almost to Columbia, and back to Avenal. Zach Yamauchi flew from Avenal North West along the mountains and then South to New Cuyama then North again, then South again to near New Cuyama and then back to Avenal again for an even longer distance of approximately 950 km. There was a "cut off low pressure area over us yesterday. It was centered just to the East of us and slightly further north, over approximately Carson City. It had brought a pool of cool air aloft from further north with it. It was blocked from exiting our area by a large high pressure ridge over the midwest. This synoptic pattern is very favorable to outstanding soaring weather this time of year in our area. </div><div>The long days and the cool air aloft, with not usually enough moisture to form thunderheads with a lot of precipitation, but enough to form lots of high based cumulus clouds with good thermals provided by the unstable air and the long day length to provide solar heating and a long soaring day. Several pilots flying out of Hollister Airport also made very long personal best flights and some of the longest flights out of that airport on Friday and Saturday. Comparing Friday with Saturday, there was more moisture present on Friday than there was on Saturday. I think you can see this on these animated .gifs of the Skew-T, Log P over each day. The first one is for Friday at Avenal and the second one is for Saturday at Avenal. On Friday, there was a thunderstorm over Coalinga and it also rained hard at Avenal for a time in the late afternoon. On Saturday there was some virga just NNW of Avenal, but it did not appear to reach the ground and there were not thunderstorms in the area, even though it was somewhat "overdeveloped" along the convergence line parallel to the Diablo mountains to the West of us. So it actually looked to me like Saturday might have been slightly better than Friday, in the sense that there were no thunderheads with rain reaching the ground, that would have needed to be avoided, on our side of the valley. But the longest flights seem to have actually been made on Friday. Both days were quite good. Sunday, which is not shown here, was forecast to be slightly warmer and with even less moisture in the air, but still the temperature was below normal aloft, so there likely would have been good blue thermals. The cut off low is forecast to be slowly exiting the area by Monday, when the temperatures will start to be warmer than average for the date. The soaring will probably start to become more average as well, but may still provide some decent thermals, but not quite as much chance of cumulus markers as Friday and Saturday. The last animated .gif one is from Monday, by which time the cut off low had largely left our area and was being replaced by a high pressure ridge coming in from the west. I think you can see that the airmass was drying out, and the lapse rate was not as steep, with warmer air aloft, indicating that the cold airmass was being replaced by warmer air aloft. This would have been a more "average" soaring day for our area, with no widespread cumulus clouds, except possibly a few "whispies" along the convergence line. And lower max altitudes of about 5000 ft. over Avenal Airport. Usually this means the max altitudes would have been somewhat lower yet out over the middle of the San Joaquin Valley, and possibly somewhat higher over the Diablo Mts. to the west of the airport in the convergence line on a typical day, which would still have been "soarable", but not as "epic" as Friday or Saturday were. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRBDqIC-vreevi4kqNziM-HJqJvvojV3D1ABDirbxqcMM2RoEw0I3EnN9wBHOKPO0KcrDhCE6KV-Avt7tELV7BBPm_DgrKuDIPyV2_vuGqmUXb5HZz0nj4GFQTrfvznBCMFoWu9fjWPJQ/s1200/previous.sounding1.curr.loop.d2.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRBDqIC-vreevi4kqNziM-HJqJvvojV3D1ABDirbxqcMM2RoEw0I3EnN9wBHOKPO0KcrDhCE6KV-Avt7tELV7BBPm_DgrKuDIPyV2_vuGqmUXb5HZz0nj4GFQTrfvznBCMFoWu9fjWPJQ/s320/previous.sounding1.curr.loop.d2.gif" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW3kI9BLJrOjMcJPPzDXSehag5NBDF6y0Xv4svnWz_hR4Q3PMivFnSfk6mkwrykdz1qB7DmYiIKH9zn8iE3aD0nZtWT_G82zc0wIDSQwbIuT3XS7kh_E4V5R-yZ0rhj452SuXbzjyo2dk/s1200/sounding1.curr.loop.d2.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW3kI9BLJrOjMcJPPzDXSehag5NBDF6y0Xv4svnWz_hR4Q3PMivFnSfk6mkwrykdz1qB7DmYiIKH9zn8iE3aD0nZtWT_G82zc0wIDSQwbIuT3XS7kh_E4V5R-yZ0rhj452SuXbzjyo2dk/s320/sounding1.curr.loop.d2.gif" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixdg23slT6AgvzIKDfdMuR4A2lJWPY1rGHjsegkFpjO0d4aXjt6eyEKKMRAr1W4WQfz_fHiZ6FnEakOGF-DXWYsT1dxP60gimGb0NLh3be5x7ge3MWMwu1_qlEqieZhlDRT22dI1ocpew/s1200/sounding1.curr.loop.d2.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixdg23slT6AgvzIKDfdMuR4A2lJWPY1rGHjsegkFpjO0d4aXjt6eyEKKMRAr1W4WQfz_fHiZ6FnEakOGF-DXWYsT1dxP60gimGb0NLh3be5x7ge3MWMwu1_qlEqieZhlDRT22dI1ocpew/s320/sounding1.curr.loop.d2.gif" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Alex Caldwell</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Alex Caldwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11647357142613472842noreply@blogger.com0
