AutoPilot BackCourse?

 

"There is no need to have a reverse for the "NAV" function, because to reverse the VOR needle, all you do is turn the CDI knob 180 degrees and it works fine, just backwards. There is no need to do that when you pass a station, as you just go from tracking inbound to the station(TO) to tracking outbound(FROM). The autopilot/flight director doesn't care which side you are on.

 

The "BC" mode lets you fly a Localizer Back Course. Since a localizer is only aligned for one specific heading, to approach it from the wrong way(as you have to do on a Localizer Back Course Instrument Approach Procedure) requires you to think backwards and deal with the 'reverse sensing'. If you have an HSI, the HSI wil take care of the reverse sensing if you put the inbound course in the HSI, but the autopilot/flight director will still get confused and want to fly the 'correct' front course heading. On a LOC BC approach this will make it fly away from the station, which is a bit counterproductive. The "BC" mode simply sets the flight director/autopilot up to fly the wrong way, essentially."

Comms? Rumple ~ Rumpelstiltskin

 

Rumpelstiltskin spun straw into Gold only if she would give him her first born child

 

Rumple appears to have given up her child and grandchildโ€ฆ

 

In order to appear superior, a miller brags to the king and people of the kingdom he lives in by claiming his daughter can spin straw into gold.[note 1] The king calls for the girl, locks her up in a tower room filled with straw and a spinning wheel, and demands she spin the straw into gold by morning or he will have her killed.[note 2] When she has given up all hope, a little imp-like man appears in the room and spins the straw into gold in return for her necklace. The next morning the king takes the girl to a larger room filled with straw to repeat the feat, the imp once again spins, in return for the girl's ring. On the third day, when the girl has been taken to an even larger room filled with straw and told by the king that he will marry her if she can fill this room with gold or execute her if she cannot, the girl has nothing left with which she can pay the strange creature. He extracts a promise from her that she will give him her firstborn child, and so he spins the straw into gold a final time.[note 3]

 

Illustration by Anne Anderson from Grimm's Fairy Tales (London and Glasgow 1922)

The king keeps his promise to marry the miller's daughter. But when their first child is born, the imp returns to claim his payment. She offers him all the wealth she has to keep the child, but the imp has no interest in her riches. He finally agrees to give up his claim to the child if she can guess his name within three days.[note 4]

 

The queen's many guesses fail. But before the final night, she wanders into the woods[note 5] searching for him and comes across his remote mountain cottage and watches, unseen, as he hops about his fire and sings. He reveals his name in his song's lyrics: "tonight tonight, my plans I make, tomorrow tomorrow, the baby I take. The queen will never win the game, for Rumpelstiltskin is my name."

 

When the imp comes to the queen on the third day, after first feigning ignorance, she reveals his name, Rumpelstiltskin, and he loses his temper at the loss of their bargain. Versions vary about whether he accuses the devil or witches of having revealed his name to the queen. In the 1812 edition of the Brothers Grimm tales, Rumpelstiltskin then "ran away angrily, and never came back." The ending was revised in an 1857 edition to a more gruesome ending wherein Rumpelstiltskin "in his rage drove his right foot so far into the ground that it sank in up to his waist; then in a passion he seized the left foot with both hands and tore himself in two." Other versions have Rumpelstiltskin driving his right foot so far into the ground that he creates a chasm and falls into it, never to be seen again. In the oral version originally collected by the Brothers Grimm, Rumpelstiltskin flies out of the window on a cooking ladle.
