Term
| A. Use the elevator to establish the proper pitch attitude of the nose of the glider when compared to the horizon. The airspeed will then stabilize at the desired airspeed. |

Definition
With the wings level (or even in a turn), the proper technique to establish a desired airspeed is to:
a) use the elevator to establish the proper pitch attitude of the nose of the glider when compared to the horizon. The airspeed will then stabilize at the desired airspeed.
b) push the nose down to go faster and pull back to go slower.
c) look at the airspeed indicator. |
