Full Flap Glider Landing Logan, UT

Showing the descent angle with full flap in ASW-20B with no headwind. Doesn't look very steep like an ASW-20 should be so interested in ideas...

Is that the landing gear?

@TheKeyWestian Nope - that was putting in landing flap. The gear was already down just as I entered the pattern. Don't want to forget the gear! :) Thanks for watching. Bruno

Why did you put flaps to neutral on the ground run? Surely that is just putting more stress on to the undercarriage by suddenly getting rid of all that lift it creates?

Very clean looking glider though, very nice.

@wujay Actually put the flaps in negative position. This is the manufacturer's suggested method for landing because it improves aileron control. You also get better braking with the lift gone. The glider's manual suggests landing this way so most ASW20 pilots do this.

Hey man, I really like all you video's, pretty cool location to fly, I was wondering, how

do you guys fly the landing circuit, Here (Holland) we usually winch and that is a major reference point, how do you do that ? Take care ;)

[bviv]

@OdinMovies We fly the typical downwind, base and final as a standard. Of course if you get back to the airport low you do whatever it takes to land. :)
