		<description><![CDATA[HOUSEKEEPING IN THE COCKPIT:
Unsecured objects floating free around the cockpit present serious hazards.   Spilled liquids of any kind are a major nuisance, and anything heavy such as a camera or radio or GPS can suddenly become a dangerous projectile.   They could also fall beneath rudder pedals or between the stick and seat pan where they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SHEARLINE:         The trick, whether holding station in an isolated patch of shear or running along a line that extends out of sight, is to remain within that interface where the merging of flows is most dynamic.  A shear’s character can vary greatly as you travel along it, or as you or it change altitudes.  Therefore, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RIDGE SOARING

A number of different tactics are useful in ridge soaring.  The most appropriate one for a given circumstance is dictated by the shape or size of a hill, and the idiosyncrasies of resulting airflow.  A simple way to analyze hills for their utility in ridge soaring is to distinguish between sections of terrain that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CROSSWIND LANDINGS
 
Imagine one runway with strong wind blowing straight across.  Standard landing patterns in this wind will involve either a direct headwind or a direct tailwind on base leg.  Choose a headwind on base if you have the option.  Descending straight into the wind, you may lose a great deal of altitude before reaching [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some birds, such as vultures, eagles and the larger species of hawks are supreme soaring creatures who mark lift, and also pose an interesting challenge:  can you stay with them in a climb?  Big flocking birds like ducks, geese and pelicans may be seen very high, flapping their wings but using soarable lift as well.  [...]]]></description>
