@1virginatlantic I was looking on your page for all the videos you have done of your glider landings, but all I saw were a few Flight Simulator videos. Maybe you should do the real thing before you insult others.
u had me scared. i thought u wer gunna crash right in to those bulidings. U were comin in a little fast but good save, and im glad your okay. Im aj, and 11 years old and hope to become a pilot. This is 11yearoldpilot, and i approve this message.
Problem #1:It looks like you entered the base leg phase of the approach too early to give yourself a comfortable altitude and distance from the runway. Problem #2: You did not anticipate wind on final and had to yaw into the wind which is an expected reaction (ref 00:01). Problem #3: Your flare was too steep. Problem #4: Watch your flaps or spoilers on approach.
your number one problem is that death grip you have on the stick...its much harder to "feel" your aircraft with such a tight grip on the control stick. loosen up a bit and try to enjoy the ride..Oh and you may want to flare a little sooner next time :)
You wants blast try a penetration landing in a glider.... the base leg is the apex of a hammerhead....you coming low and fast riding on the ground effect....I don't recommend it for a novice pilot though, you have to know your glider very well because it you try to do the hammerhead with out enough alt... you are a hole in the ground.
I'm aware of 3 gliders that have flaps but no spoilers: Schweitzer 1-35, Pik-20, and Concept 70. All have a very distinctive nose-down attitude on final that has to be pulled out prior to touch down. It was hard to make out airspeed, but he absolutely did take off at least 20 knots prior to touch down, its very possible there was a little tailwind. Unless you are familiar with landing those aircraft, you aren't in a position to criticize the pilot.
Actually, I think all HPs were like that, not just the 14, but you are right, I forgot it. I know people who own or have owned the others. I've never actually seen an HP (in person).
Fly along the runway about 1 foot off the ground, keep moving the stick back as your speed bleeds off. The stick should hit the seat a split second before you touch down. This helps with spending the least amount of time bouncing around on the rough ground. As you touch down pull the air brakes to 100% so you stop as soon as possible.
To make it safer use a long straight approach crack your air brakes early to about 50% then lock your left arm and concentrate on flying the glider to your aiming point.
This removes a variable so your decent rate is constant and frees up your CPU so you can concentrate on your airspeed and your stick. Use a long radius to round out looking down the runway at the horizon helps you to see your position relative to the ground.
@EVZebra Sounds like landing instructions for a powered airplane. This is a glider. Gliders are suppose to use a steep approach to land. Long straight low to the ground approaches are danger for a glider. This landing appears to be a normal landing to me. Nothing wrong with it.
@jcb2001 I never said the approach should be long and straight and low to the ground the approach should be normal but after you have rounded out keep it off the ground as long as you can provided there is lots of space.
Having a longer less steep approach gives you more time to set up for: crosswind gusts, wind direction change, wind speed change, cattle gliders or vehicles on the runway, rotor, thermals on the runway - if you go smashing in like that your time to fix a surprise is .....none
If I ever made a landing like this I would give up (if I survived it)... Either that or I would expect to have my ass kicked out the club...
If you have not yet killed yourself, go get some training.... and get this embarrassment of a video deleted (or leave it for us to show people how NOT to land).......
really why the fuck would you hold your stick with 2 hands, it is supposed to be kept whit one hand so the other is free and you can use it quiqk, what a fucked up landing... in @fotoavia no spoilers, you got one from before WWOII
very poor approach.. id never roll it across a taxiway like that... and the sudden grab of elevator almost got your wheel shoved up your a**... then dragging the wingtip in that left hander was just the cherry on top of how to not land, how to tear up your airframe and how to risk welding cracks in the airframe.... Glad im not in that club.
@IndyHelis You guys really don't understand glider flying. Our club in England does hanger flights at the end of the day of flying, in order to get the sailplanes close to the hanger for storage or their trailers. That is flying and landing a sailplane right up to the hanger. Been doing it safefy this way for over 20 years. Normally, the runway is closed for glider operations, so crossing it is no big problem. Gliders operate differently than powered aircraft.
@jcb2001 I do understand as im a glider pilot myself... Just some people treat their equipment better than others. Still stand by my previous comment. Bad pilot skills on his flare, and his rollout...
dude, i'm a glider pilot myself, and I've seen some landings, some good, some bad, but dude ... this was the worst landing i've ever seen. If an instructor would have seen this you would undoubtedly lose your license, or at least fly a twin seater and do your training all over again. This is just dangerous.
I think we do it because if I where to make such a landing (which I have come close) I would tell myself "dude, that was a f'n horrible landing, choke yourself" hahaa! I just think it was amazing that he did almost no flaring, just rammed into the grass =P
a wise man once said to me after a slight baloon landing that 'a good landing is one that you walk away from and a great landing is when your glider is still servicable' however this may be the exception ;) never the less we all make mistakes
I am sorry but that was a terrible circuit, base leg and approach, topped off with a horrid flare. You probably need to do a few more circuits with your CFI.
Quite a high speed and quick descend landing, and speed wasn't down before the forced touchdown. Not the way landings are taught, is it? It seemed safe though.
It's good practice to turn off the variometer so you rid off stress factors.
@Ka2Pilot der hat ja echt mit eine übelzten überfahrt an den boden gedrückt..leck mich fett..wasn das überhaupt für ein flugzeug sieht ja schrecklich aus von innen
@Ka2Pilot sah so aus als ob die übelzten wind hätten dann könnt ichs verstehen das man mit 120 anfliegt..aber so brutal wie der das ding ran knüppelt im warsten sinne xD
Im not a pilot, but interrested. What stick or handle does the pilot push before he get the nose up? airbreaks? Speed seems to be a little high and cause the poor landing, but it doesnt look dangerous. Good video, great sport, have fun.
The only thing you'd want to be touching is the airbreaks. If the airspeed was too high, then when he flares, he would go back up (called ballooning). The airspeed was ok, he just flew it into the ground and didnt flare enough or flared too late. Tho nose came up when he hit the ground, the pilot didnt do that the ground did.
@fyfanharrusett Now here's an honest guy... This glider is equipped with a control stick which you would pull, as the pilot does to keep the nose from digging an asparagus trench in the ground. This glider does not have speed brakes (spoilers) but instead relies on flaps (80 degrees) to descend rapidly without gaining too much airspeed. It is these flaps which retracted (popped out of the detent) and caused the sudden drop. Lucky there was enough speed and the glider did not stall at low altitud
@fyfanharrusett I am a power pilot, but I have some glider experience. The "stick" takes place of the yoke in a powered aircraft (don't know how much you know about flying?) and is very much like a fighter plane. Generally, to get a glider to land you have to set out spoilers, which just take away lift, as well as set out flaps, which increase lift and drag at the same time. You compensate by pulling back on the stick, to pull up the nose. I am surprised how few fatalities there are in gliding.
Respond to this video... Anyhow, I am very surprised at how few fatalities there are in gliding, relative to the number of accidents. Yes, there are quite a few, and every glider pilot I know has gotten into em, and came away without a scrape. Off airport landings because yes no engine, and flipovers, and not often talked about is the fact that gliders do lots of aerobatics which often gets passengers - and pilots real sick! Vomit on the canopy makes it hard to aviate and navigate.
You shall stall out the plane when you land. Don´t land at the main wheel, flare out about 1-3 meters above the ground and slowly bring the stick back and follow whit your air brake. And be sure that your tail will hit the ground first, still have the stick back as far as you can. This is the perfect landing.
i flew in there a few times. Nice field. Just outside of Boston. They ever open up the cafe? Pretty shitty landing. You walked away and that is about the only good thing I saw. Good luck on the next one and be careful. Maybe hit up the two seater with a good pilot or instructor.
Seems like that big (and necessary) yank on the stick at 0 :46 was the instructor saving his ass from being penetrated by the wheel! But he shouldn't let someone come in for a landing like that with no airspeed control, how is he ever gonna learn to land on the spot? Weird flying, sloppy and tense at the same time.
I would have used the rudder and made som small gentle nips with the wings during that windy approach.......but you came out alive so dont let this stop you!
Lucky boy! if you did that @ my airfield you would be back on checks. 1) dont use two hands on the stick on approach, gear down, one on the stick one on the breaks. 2)approach should be flown @ approach speed with 2/3s airbreaks, not diving at the ground, round out balloon, over shoot and run of the runway. 3)round and lookout i think you had your head inside the cockpit and it surprised you, why you then over shot and didnt use the breaks is beyond me....get some more instruction.
What the f...ck were you thinking when posting this footage???? Need two hands on the stick? Jeez! Take up plane spotting and how real pilots handle landings FGS.
i walk away from the landing and the aircraft can fly again so it was a good landing any landing you can walk a way from is a good one and landing where the plane can be used again is a great landing plus i bet it was loads of fun
Ok let's say he had a probability of 1/10 to crash the glider (it's quite optimistic^^). If he lands it this way everytime he flies, the probability that he crashes it after only seven flights is over 50% (52% actually). That's the reason why a good landing is a landing you can make hundreds of times SAFE.
@thibaud1300 i agree if he always lands like this but i bet he only did once to mak this video to make it different from the rest but if he lands like this every time then there is a realy high risk of crashing the glider
i know it was a bad landing, but i do think he was new to this, may have been first landing aloud to do pretty much solo, so guys cut him some slack... :P
Do you know, I love all these fucking armchair pilots that think they are it! With their sad arse anorak views towards this video! Shut your fuckin mouths all of you! This is a great video that looks cool! You lot are a bunch of armchair spastic pilots that think they are it!
@saintwinky29 Well, that's because the people commenting and critiquing probably know how to land properly, because they are real world Pilots. That includes myself. That's a shitty landing. Way to much control movement, very jerky hold of, and hard touch down. So learn about aviation.
@LaszloK94 Big deal! The video looks cool! And besides I don't profess to be an aviator of any sorts, let alone even learning about the subject! I just don't like armchair critics or anoraks that put their neb in!!!!! The guy flying the thing managed to land it! So big truck duckin deal! Ha! Your all right mate you are! Maybe you and i should get lashed and then do some flying together! Ha
@saintwinky29 He managed to land it because he was very very lucky, but next time maybe it wont be anymore. my instructors have a saying: in aviation you start with 2 bags. One full of luck & one with experience, empty. The ideea is to fill the one with experience before you empty the one with luck.
@saintwinky29 it's a poor video and it looks like shite... It's not a landing but a crash down...
I bet you that that glider lands itself much better if that pilot just lets go of the stick... btw - why the need to hold it with two hands? - answer: not trimmed properly...
You were lucky not to drive the gear up through your arse with a sphinkter peckering flare like that. A great example of how not to handle an approach and landing. All over the place on approach and, as I said, f'-ing dangerous flare! I'd be embarrassed to post it as anything other than'wot not to do'.
And what's with the constant two hand grip? It's not necessary.
@8technical Pilots.. always our own worst enemies! ..what I mean by that is that I don't understand why so many Pilots seem to love nothing more than aggressively pointing out each others mistakes. Nothing wrong with discussing mistakes and constructive criticism but the constant nitpicking and insulting is so destructive to ourselves. In aviation we don't have that many friends as it is, we should at least try to not make enemies out of one another. We've all made mistakes and will make more!
You do tend to see some two hand approaches in IGC competition gliding when they are approaching VNE on long final glides, or coming in on ground effect/penetration approaches from a few km's back when the whole cockpit of a D2b, LS8 (or whatever is being flown) is rattling around. It is rather unusual to double grip the stick in the pattern or on final like us "non" competition guys though. ALWAYS keep one hand ready on flaps and/or spoliers on flinal!!! Rule #1 of approaches.
@Soon2bFamous242 Well, don't be. As Cadet Pilots, we have a much higher standard, and the instructors wouldn't even let a pilot like that solo, let alone give a familiarization ride with a pilot like that.
@yocker6 I detected a certain lack of flaring before the landing. She almost touched the ground at about 15 secs before real landing and then chewed up 300+m of runway. Ive done some bad ones in cessnas so I cant talk, but that was not one i'd rate as good if id done it.
isn't the part where the plane sort of skids through the air on final to burn of airspeed called crossing the controls or something, (right bank left rudder and vice versa?)
Big words coming from a newbie who only soloed an airplane last year. When you get a few more hours under your belt and a little real world aviation experience, then you can comment on other peoples' landings. Yeah, he had a small mishap, but he recovered and landed with no damage to the ship. I just hope you and your smart mouth have the skills to correct anything uneventful on a future landing you might have. I hope, but am not too convinced that you'd be smart enough to learn much from it.
@claflin75 and this coming from a person who has never stepped foot in an aircraft. and that video is 2 years old and was uploaded last year. and I guess im a "newbie" since i have 154 hours and 567 landings. And how do you know there was no damage? did you overlook that glider? I doubt it. you're a complete fucking moron.
@gypsykingg....never stepped foot in an aircraft? Multiply your hours by about 20 and you',ll have close to my flight time Jr. I'm commercial/ instrument rated for single and multi-engine airplanes.. Also glider rated. Have you ever flown a glider Jr.? I highly doubt it. Look out airlines, Jr. has 154 hours!! Woo Hoo!!!! You're an arrogant little twerp.
@claflin75 commercial/instrument rated? no shit? seeing that if you have a commercial license you would have had to already obtained your instrument. You have never stepped foot in any aircraft. you sound like a fucking idiot.
@gypsykingg........You can get a commercial rating without an instrument rating. It just limits what you can do. You are showing how more and more how stupid you are with each post.

It is these flaps which retracted (popped out of the detent) and caused the sudden drop. Lucky there was enough speed and the glider did not stall at low altitud

@zsurfer NO spoilers ? What type of glider is that ?
Valy18 7 months ago
@fyfanharrusett I am a power pilot, but I have some glider experience. The "stick" takes place of the yoke in a powered aircraft (don't know how much you know about flying?) and is very much like a fighter plane. Generally, to get a glider to land you have to set out spoilers, which just take away lift, as well as set out flaps, which increase lift and drag at the same time. You compensate by pulling back on the stick, to pull up the nose. I am surprised how few fatalities there are in gliding.

Respond to this video... Anyhow, I am very surprised at how few fatalities there are in gliding, relative to the number of accidents. Yes, there are quite a few, and every glider pilot I know has gotten into em, and came away without a scrape. Off airport landings because yes no engine, and flipovers, and not often talked about is the fact that gliders do lots of aerobatics which often gets passengers - and pilots real sick! Vomit on the canopy makes it hard to aviate and navigate.
nagrom355 6 months ago
You shall stall out the plane when you land. Don´t land at the main wheel, flare out about 1-3 meters above the ground and slowly bring the stick back and follow whit your air brake. And be sure that your tail will hit the ground first, still have the stick back as far as you can. This is the perfect landing.
Practise is the only way to be good at flying.

Seems like that big (and necessary) yank on the stick at 0 :46 was the instructor saving his ass from being penetrated by the wheel! But he shouldn't let someone come in for a landing like that with no airspeed control, how is he ever gonna learn to land on the spot? Weird flying, sloppy and tense at the same time.

Lucky boy! if you did that @ my airfield you would be back on checks. 1) dont use two hands on the stick on approach, gear down, one on the stick one on the breaks. 2)approach should be flown @ approach speed with 2/3s airbreaks, not diving at the ground, round out balloon, over shoot and run of the runway. 3)round and lookout i think you had your head inside the cockpit and it surprised you, why you then over shot and didnt use the breaks is beyond me....get some more instruction.

i walk away from the landing and the aircraft can fly again so it was a good landing any landing you can walk a way from is a good one and landing where the plane can be used again is a great landing plus i bet it was loads of fun
nintendoDShow2s 1 year ago
@nintendoDShow2s
Ok let's say he had a probability of 1/10 to crash the glider (it's quite optimistic^^). If he lands it this way everytime he flies, the probability that he crashes it after only seven flights is over 50% (52% actually). That's the reason why a good landing is a landing you can make hundreds of times SAFE.
thibaud1300 1 year ago
@thibaud1300 i agree if he always lands like this but i bet he only did once to mak this video to make it different from the rest but if he lands like this every time then there is a realy high risk of crashing the glider

@saintwinky29 Well, that's because the people commenting and critiquing probably know how to land properly, because they are real world Pilots. That includes myself. That's a shitty landing. Way to much control movement, very jerky hold of, and hard touch down. So learn about aviation.

Maybe you and i should get lashed and then do some flying together! Ha
saintwinky29 1 year ago
@saintwinky29 He managed to land it because he was very very lucky, but next time maybe it wont be anymore. my instructors have a saying: in aviation you start with 2 bags. One full of luck & one with experience, empty. The ideea is to fill the one with experience before you empty the one with luck.
FlyWithMeeeee 1 year ago
@saintwinky29 it's a poor video and it looks like shite... It's not a landing but a crash down...
I bet you that that glider lands itself much better if that pilot just lets go of the stick... btw - why the need to hold it with two hands? - answer: not trimmed properly...

You were lucky not to drive the gear up through your arse with a sphinkter peckering flare like that. A great example of how not to handle an approach and landing. All over the place on approach and, as I said, f'-ing dangerous flare! I'd be embarrassed to post it as anything other than'wot not to do'.
And what's with the constant two hand grip? It's not necessary.

@8technical Pilots.. always our own worst enemies! ..what I mean by that is that I don't understand why so many Pilots seem to love nothing more than aggressively pointing out each others mistakes. Nothing wrong with discussing mistakes and constructive criticism but the constant nitpicking and insulting is so destructive to ourselves. In aviation we don't have that many friends as it is, we should at least try to not make enemies out of one another. We've all made mistakes and will make more!

You do tend to see some two hand approaches in IGC competition gliding when they are approaching VNE on long final glides, or coming in on ground effect/penetration approaches from a few km's back when the whole cockpit of a D2b, LS8 (or whatever is being flown) is rattling around. It is rather unusual to double grip the stick in the pattern or on final like us "non" competition guys though. ALWAYS keep one hand ready on flaps and/or spoliers on flinal!!! Rule #1 of approaches.

Big words coming from a newbie who only soloed an airplane last year. When you get a few more hours under your belt and a little real world aviation experience, then you can comment on other peoples' landings. Yeah, he had a small mishap, but he recovered and landed with no damage to the ship. I just hope you and your smart mouth have the skills to correct anything uneventful on a future landing you might have. I hope, but am not too convinced that you'd be smart enough to learn much from it.
