thing which will appear novel after the first altitude
flights are attempted is the peculiar sensation
of the apparently increased speed as the earth
comes close up to the machine.

At a height of one hundred feet, flying thirty
miles an hour, does not seem fast, because the surface
of the earth is such a distance away that particular
objects remain in view for some moments;
but when within ten feet of the surface the same
object is in the eye for an instant only.

This lends a sort of terror to the novice. He
imagines a great many things, but forgets some
things which are very important to do at this
time. One is, that the front of the machine must
be thrown up so as to bank the planes against the
wind. The next is to shut off the power, which
is to be done the moment the wheels strike the
ground, or a little before.

Upon his judgment of the time of first touching
the earth depends the success of safely alighting.
He may bank too high, and come down on the tail
with disastrous results. If there is plenty of field
room it is better to come down at a less angle, or
even keep the machine at an even keel, and the
elevator can then depress the tail while running
over the ground, and thus bring the machine to
rest.

Frequently, when about to land the machine
will rock from side to side. In such a case it is
far safer to go up into the air than to make the
land, because, unless the utmost care is exercised,
one of the wing tips will strike the earth and
wreck the machine.

Another danger point is losing headway, as the
earth is neared, due to flying at too flat an angle,
or against a wind that happens to be blowing particularly
hard at the landing place. If the motor
is still going this does not make so much difference,
but in a volplane it means that the descent
must be so steep, at the last moment of flight, that
the chassis is liable to be crushed by the impact.
