The flecnodes Fi on a regular and non torsal ruling R0 of a ruled surface R are the points where R's asymptotic tangents along R0 hyperosculate the ruled surface. The name flecnode characterizes the intersection curve ci of the tangent plane τi with R at Fi. It has a double point (a node) at Fi and this node is an inflection point for both linear branches of ci at Fi. We show a way to parameterize the smooth one-parameter family of flecnodes of R which in general forms a curve with two branches. For that we derive the equation of the ruled quadric on three given lines in terms of Pl�cker coordinates of the given lines.
