How not to land a K21

[leekimlanuza]

well as long as the pilot walked away from it i say its a good landing

[mclchr]

He should have gone around after the bounce...

[tjampe]

@mclchr lol, describe for me how a glider would be able to go arround xD

[mclchr]

@tjampe I think it's too complicated to explain correctly here ;)

[skyglider14]

I also made a landing like this right my first soloflight on a K21

[alex080297]

any landing you walk out of is a good landing

[timmy3822]

bumpsydaisy lol....

[pmcnamara1983]

any landing u can walk away from is good one

[MrPyroflight]

Its a downslope landing, thats pretty tough...

[OHAApple]

dude its ask 21 not ak 21

[MrTommy001]

Any undamaged and/or unhurt landing is a GOOD landing...

[ThePrinceUsama]

do u think mr bean would do that??????

[cguimaraenz]

Is that a Janus?

[IkTheNew]

@cguimaraenz Read the title. Although it's still wrong, 'cause it's an ASK21, not a K21..

[mrturtlebobington]

@IkTheNew Almost everyone I know calls the ASK 21 the K21

[jordangmagic]

Note to self - don't land into hill sides.

[wristp1n]

hes alive! plane is in one piece! good landing! :)

[Nibblers999]

A bit harsh - you should see how Iand lol

[smokemeelmo]

I've not seen a 21 with a retractable undercarriage before... if anything I get the impression that the sudden shock that the glider had no wheels under it might have screwed up the landing a bit.

[KvornanTheLafesta]

@smokemeelmo It's not retractable! They just took the real wheel cover off, which makes it more convenient to check tyre air pressure. Many clubs do this to their ASK-21/k21's to make checking it easier.

Dunstable is a very good airfield Mr Joggl - the SURFACE isn't perfect... But it's been that way for years... Better pilots fly from Dunstable :)

[MrJoggl]

the airfield isnt very nice°°

[robert100xx]

any landing you walk away from.......... ;)

[l0rdf0lken]

Seems he got scared by the ground rushing up since he was flying over a slope. Hit the ground hard and then went airborne again due to too much energy. Well its an ask-21 so she can take it.

[maxsmith1995]

came at it too quick, didnt allow much room before touching, could see it happening from the start

[adr712]

nice music. what´s the name of the song?

[jwm239]

...wondered if the pilot looked at far end

of field during that final approach...and

the field looked like a 'rumpled' carpet

which contributed to the bounces.

[MrTumnus8896]

Why land it in such a bumpy field?!!

[tomprid3]

@MrTumnus8896 The field itself is rather smooth although in places it is a bit undulating... It is the oldest gliding club in the UK and has a glider that is twice that size operating from it (largest glider in the UK).

A tounge-in-cheek response would be that the dip he was landing in was caused by many pilots over many years doing exactly what he did in the video ;)

[davidswelt]

Not too bad at all. Since it's a 21, i was most likely a training flight.

[hrford]

Two flights for the price of one

[xsoburg]

A little jumpy, but not to bad. At least it's in one piece!

[arthurmee]

could have been worse.

[dynamicz108]

wasnt too bad dont worry about it hehehe

[FSfreek]

xD YES that`s right! That why you should not land an ASK21! NIce vid!
