July n 1 p 54 + 56 + 58: Correct turning is discussed, and yawing moment of ailerons in correct turn is explained; natural banking moment; starting turn and staying in turn; simple rules for turn; slips and skids; engine torque effects; apparent changes of control action in steep banks. Aug n 2 p 60 + 62 + 64: Discussion of normal landing of airplane into field of small dimensions; perfect three point landing; advantage of slow landing; misleading advertising of landing speeds; landing fast: factors entering into length of landing run; how brakes affect design of airplane; effects of wind; why field with obstacles at boundary has to be larger. Sept n 3 p 66 + 44 + 46: Forces acting on plane during take-off run and climb are discussed; measures to be adopted by pilot in making as quick and short take-off as possible; takeoff on smooth and rough ground; taking off into wind; steepest climb; climbing with and against wind; stalling on climb. Oct n 4 p 48 + 39-40 + 86: Many factors involved in longitudinal stability of airplane are explained; mechanical analogies for stability; ordinary wing alone would give unstable airplane; how horizontal tail surfaces produce stability; definition of pitching moment; trim at given angle of incidence.
