with the prevailing wind. This tends to happen when the "fetch" (the distance air must travel from the upwind side of the lake to the downwind side) is shorter. Multiband events are common to Lakes Michigan, Superior, and Huron.

Flare shall be located upwind process unit & storage. Clearance atPig Receiver The area at the end closure of the Receiver shall be kept free to avoid any incident. Provide a concrete wall a minimum of 20 meters away (Fig. 2) from the end closure if the area needs to be utilized for...
I have observed this with an "automatic" lift-seeking RC plane wanting to follow upwind-found thermals too far downwind against my wishes. A Suggested Solution The following fairly simple solution for an RC sailplane does not require morphing wings nor my supposition about vortex tightening on ...
assuring that airspeed is good (add at least five knots airspeed above normal final approach speed in strong crosswinds). Cross-control only on the last few feet of descent as the aircraft settles onto the runway in the flare, keeping the upwind wing low and the nose pointed down the ...
Response Guidebook (ERG2000). If there is a transportation incident involving these materials, the ERG2000 recommends that public emergency response personnel isolate the spill or leak area immediately for at least 30 to 80 feet in all directions, keep unauthorized personnel away, and stay upwind....
