Learning to fly
UdF C-FYXY learning program is to obtain the GLIDER LICENCE.
The Pipistrel Sinus for Transport Canada is a GLIDER.
The reality is DIFFERENT:
The Sinus is two airplanes in one.
It flies like a glider.
It flies like an ULTRALIGHT and like a conventional legacy Cessna 150.
OUR PROGRAM WILL COVER ALL THE ASPECT OF THIS TWO KIND OF FLIGHTS.
BUT YOU WILL GET ONLY THE GLIDER LICENCE.
The performances of the Sinus are modest compared to pure modern gliders.
The performances of the Sinus are much better in any respect compared to a Cessna 150.
The performances of the Sinus are about the same of modern performing ULTRALIGHT.
The Sinus flies engine off like any other glider.
The Sinus flies engine on like an airplane, climbing, cruising and landing.
The only difference between a GLIDER and an AIRPLANE is that the glider has not the ability to cruise.
Cruising means to fly straight and level at the same altitude and at the same speed.
An airplane can maintain flight straight and level at the same altitude.
A glider CANNOT maintain flight straight and level at the same altitude, it will descend all the time unless the
glider find ascending air strong enough to gain altitude by thermalling, flying ridge lift, wave lift, cloud street....
the glider will gain altitude by cyrcling, flying zig-zags or straight, straight flight will likely to be of segments
when the glider gain altitude and segments when the glider will loose altitude likely at different speed.
This type of straight flight is quite different from normal airplane cruising.
Cruising means to fly straight and level at the same altitude and at the same speed.
