(August 25, 1932.) Small Cabin Aircraft : Need for Caution during Flight under certain Conditions PILOTS flying small cabin aircraft are warned by G.E.'s Notice No. 41 of the year 1932 of the need for caution when flying in or near clouds, particularly in rough or disturbed weather. Below and in certain types of clouds, air currents with large vertical veloci ties exist. In some cases, the vertical velocity over a small localised area amounts to 30 ft. per sec., while during a thunderstorm, or even during the later stages of its development, a vertical velocity of 50 ft. per sec. may be expected. These dangerous conditions are usually indicated by one or more of the following signs : (1) Unusually squally winds at ground level, (ii) Wind direction between west and north ; (iii) Clouds of a cumulus type, often build ing up during the day to very considerable heights ; (iv) Rapid decrease of temperatures with height above the ground. In such circumstances, high speeds should be avoided and, as far as prac ticable, passengers and other movable load should be secured. 925
