ASW28 Hangar Landing in St-Auban

Back from the deep French Alps, now time for landing. One of the most nervous part of the flight.

Nice movie(and your other movies lov`em all)

And I disagree with Rickenbacker69: Just take a groundloop if brakes fail ;)

[junventus]

Thanks. I'm trying to stop the hanger without brake. Selecting a touch down point, considering the wind and other conditions. Off course its difficult and sometime I do short and sometime need brake.

The greatest sport in the world

Very nice indeed. Isn't it amazing though how many people think that's dangerous?! Of course it is not in this case; all the flying speed is gone before turning off the landing run - the worst that could happen (and I doubt it with the standard of this pilot) is a fast taxy speed groundloop. Even that is a very small chance and would result in very little (if any!) injury! Live and let live!

A groundloop would be caused here by one wingtip touching the ground, which would of course yaw the glider towards the lower wing. The higher wing is then travelling faster than the lower wing, creating more lift and increasing the roll to the lower side. The eventual effect is for the glider to perform a kind of half-somersault, travelling backwards with its tail high and nose down. Usually breaks something!

@flyingdan111 whats a ground loop?

[gjsgfkdche]

Germany manufactures the best gliders :D

You say in the description that this is one of the most nervous parts of the flight.. But surely it can't be too bad with an airfield the size of that!!
