Help with Flugbuch Terms Please
Hi guys
I am still wading through Willi Gaul's Flugbuch. Two terms I would like to check with you are: 'Unsellandung' (or it might be 'Unselandung' or 'Unseluibung' - sorry but the writing is hard to read) and 'Fiellandung' Can anyone help clarify the meaning of these terms in the context of advanced multi-engine aircraft pilot training? As ever, any help will be much appreciated. Thanks Tim O. |

Here is the first word I am struggling with, shown in the top line of this page under 'Zwed des Fluges'.
Any ideas on what is written and what it means? Thanks Tim O. Last edited by Tim O.; 7th July 2015 at 20:10. |

Hi Tim,
The first word is "Umschulung" and means something like type rating to another type of airplane Rolf |

The other two are :
Bombenwerfen - Bomb drop/launch Ueberfuehrung - Transport / Ferry Flight Also the correct column name is "Zweck des Fluges" |

the first word you are looking for is - as already mentioned - "Umschulung". Properly explained as achieving the type rating on a new a/c. The second one I suspect is "Ziellandung" which I loosely translate as "precision landing" or "point landing" - my information is that the pilot in question had to touch down on a target marking to proof his ability to bring down the machine "spot on". Typically, a certain distance was acceptable but too much and you failed. Andreas |
