Since the Audio section is getting rather large and potentially hard to find things, I've setup headings to help users navigate quickly. With Jaws you can press your h key to quickly jump from section to section on this page. Also under the new posts section I've added headings for each month of posts. With jaws you can either press the h key to jump month to month or you can press the 3 key to take you to the month headings. You can also press the 1 key to move between level 1 headings which is what the major sections are. I think the same thing is able to be done with Window Eyes and System Access using the H key.

02-09-2008 - Alan Paganelli shares with us a flying lesson he recorded about 30 years ago. At the time he was paying for flying lessons and yes he was blind! This wonderful recording is about 52 minutes long. I think everyone will enjoy listening to it. Thanks Alan for uploading the file to me and allowing me to share it with everyone here at BGZ.
Here is Alan's description of the mp3 file.
I'm putting together an mp3 file of my youth about 30 years ago when I was flying blind. I got this bug in my bonnet that I wanted to learn to fly and sense I could afford the $40 an hour for the aircraft and another $20 an hour for the CFI )Certified Flying Instructor) I decided to put my money where my mouth was. A friend of mine talked to one of the CFI's at the airport who took me on as his student. The mp3 recording was made on one training flight some time in 1977 give or take a month but I believe it was in the winter. The recording starts off with the checklist and engine start and taxiing to the run-up area where the flight controls are checked one more time before leaving the ground. From the run-up area we proceed to the runway for takeoff and departure. The altitude is 3500 feet and the bass ground level is 614 feet (ASL) (above Sea Level. It was a bit windy at altitude and we kept hitting these little bumpy spots in the road. Flying is a constant recovery from left/right up and down all the time. When you run into a bump, it pitches one wing or the other slight up or down or the same with the nose or a combination of all of that. All this sounds like it's like being bounced around like a Ping-Pong ball in a tempest but these are very slight but noticeable with instruments. We did a little flying around this way until I got bored and asked the instructor if we could do a few stalls. To explain what a stall is, I need to tell you what actually keeps you up in the sky. It doesn't matter if it's the smallest ultra light or the largest jet airliner. The same thing holds all aircraft up there. That is about %8 difference between the top and bottom side of the wing. That's all friends only %8 keeps you in the sky. As the aircraft flies along, the pilot will chop the power. This means the aircraft flies slower and slower. As the aircraft flies slower, less lift is produced and the nose begins to drop. The pilot will pull the nose up with back pressure on the control column to keep the nose up. He will do this and the nose will rise higher and higher. As this happens, the aircraft flies slower and slower until the point of stall is achieved. The stall point is when there no longer enough lift supporting the weight of the aircraft and it's passengers. When this stall point is exceeded, the aircraft can no longer fly and it falls out of the sky. Think of it like this. As the nose comes up from around 3 o'clock the pilot keeps bring the nose higher and higher through around 1 o'clock when stall speed is exceeded, the nose is said to brake off much like the swinging of a hammer. Some times a stall is called a hammer head stall when this brake off point is sharp. The nose falls from around 1 o'clock to about 4 o'clock but during that time, your falling through around a thousand feet or so give or take. As the nose comes back down, the aircraft moves forward because of gravity. Air flows over and under the wings again and as the aircraft moves faster and faster, lift again over comes the weight of the aircraft and the people inside and your flying again. If power is not restored, you can glide. From around 2000 feet you can probably glide 20 miles if your lucky. Plenty of time to find a place to put down. The end of the recording concerns it's self with the landing. The movies and drama all being more fiction then fact, you'll see that the conversation doesn't even change much between John the instructor and myself. When the aircraft lands, you can here first the left wheel touch down and a second later the right wheel. This is a fixed gear aircraft and there was a slight cross wind so the left wing is down slightly to compensate for the left cross wind and therefore touches down first and so the aircraft continues to roll latterly the right wheel touches down leveling the aircraft. Even large passenger jets land this way. After the landing there is other aircraft on the taxi way and John needs to take over because things are getting tight with several aircraft approaching the same point so we needed to move a little faster and John can see what I can't but after he got us past that point I again took over to shut down the systems etc. I strongly suggest though, you listen through head phones or the engine sound will drown out the voices.
