DALLAS, Texas, May 9. — There
j is a reason for every aviation acci
dent. Sometimes it is an obvious one
but too often only the dead flyer
j never knew just what sent his ma
I chine crashing to the ground.
Up to the middle of April there had
been 86 fatalities in the six Texas
aviation camps and in many of the
accidents that caused them no one
[ knew just what unexpected condition,
j just what weakness in man or ma
terial had developed high in the air.
; Fort Worth with its three aviation
j fields and its preponderance of flyers
' training under the British officers in
the Royal Flying 'Corps had 49 deaths
| up to April 17j Houston was next
with 16.
Crashes may be due to misapplica
I
tion of rules, unfamiliarity with pe
| culiar aerial conditions, faulty mater
ial in the airplane, sudden fright
seizing the aviator or mere recikless
j ness.
In flying there are no brakes to ap
ply. The pilot must he alert and
ready for any emergency. A plane
just leaving the Held has the advan
[ tage over a plane about to land in an
I impending disaster. The landing
plane is going much faster than the
| one just “revved up.” The pilot just
j starting up must be careful not to
misjudge bis start and t-tous he over
| taken by a plane that is powerless to
i avoid the crash.
Machines passing in the same di
rection should have an interval of at
least 200 yards to insure safety
: against collisions. When they are
passing over and under, they must
pass at a distance of at least 50 yards
and those approaching a head on pass
must have at least 150 yards between
them.
One of the most common reasons
J for accidents, as given by instruptors,
is disobedience to orders. At a cer
| tain height and going at a certain
; well defined speed, so many loops or
dives or whatever manueuver is to
| be adopted, may be made with safety.
| If the aviator disregards the laws of
; mathematics in which he has been
drilled and undertakes one more loop,
the consequences may prove fatal.
Landing in a cross wind is highly
dangerous. It frequently causes the
plane to turn completely over and
: pins the pilot underneath the heavy
engine.
There have been numerous deaths,
flight commanders say, from pilots
losing their nerve. The driver finds
he has iost (Control of his engine,
makes a frantic effort to right the
plane, fails the first time, lapses into
unconsciousness and the plane falls
to earth at such terrific speed that
the aviator is dead before he reaches
the ground.
During their periods of instruction,
cadets about to fly are given a strict
course to follow in the air. The lo
cation in which some airplanes have
fallen indicated that the cadets once
up tn the air, disregarded their in
ti truer >ons and followed their own
sweet will. According to the rules of
the ; ir if each plane has kept its
course, under normal conditions col
lision v th another plane is not pos
sible. *
Lieuh nant C. S. Chase*of Ellington
Field Houston, recently described
some of the hazards and duties of an
airman Immediately following the
first exercises in which the students
develop their sense of balance and
stability, they are drilled in aerial
dynamics.
Lieutenant Chase declared that “air
pockets,” are not “pockets" at all,
but are ascending and descending
currents caused by hot and cold
waves in the air. A plane ascends
in warm currents and falls in cold
■ currents. Forests and wet grass and
trees make cool air; level stretches
where the sun shines contain warm
air.
An aviator must understand mete
orology, photography, wireless tele
! graphy and be a master of machlne
| gun fire, Lieutenant Chase added,
j When he becomes a flying cadet and
j wears a white "hat band, he gets his
first rtfle aloft. After a few trips he
does “solo”, that is, goes up alone,
the most important part of his train
ing. Next he flies in 'formation and
j then on cross country trips where he
j is compelled to land guided only by
maps and instruments. Then comes
his higher development with machine
! gun fire and other special training
! which increases his usefulness as
1 one of the “eyes of the au-my.”
Officers commanding the Texas
(amps, while deploring the fatalities
that have accompanied the training
i of Uncle Bain’s flyers, say that, in
comparison with the number of men
I who have been trained and become
expert, ihe total is surprisingly small.
