That phone !

Whatever happened to turning finals on an outlanding at 400Ft? Very lucky to get away with that without a stall/spin IMO. Glad he was OK.

Would have fooled me, too - from the visuals I thought that strip might be the best choice, as well. Difficult to avoid the wing catching when the growth isn't uniform enough to keep level. The last turn seemed a bit scary to me, though - from the video It felt pretty low and slow, but that's video.

Good Job. Why not land in green?

I would have chosen that field too

Maybe the guy on the phone had a better field for you.

My impression is that you decided for another field very late, because the last turn was at a very low height. That can be dangerous.

Родился здоровый ребенок, какое счастье!

playing with phone instead having good look out

thanks for posting! I've landed in full height barley a few times, didn't ground loop the first time, second time I had a short ground loop at end of the roll-out. The first time the field looked like freshly harvested straw... until the wind blew across it when I was on short final, and then it was apparent that it was full height. Bruno was right about his assessment, I also would have set up my circuit earlier and put the wheel down sooner to fully configure so that I could fly undistracted all the way to the end. We practice sterile launches and landings, meaning that we don't adjust the knobs on any devices until we're off tow or the glider has stopped moving on the ground. Looking at a cellphone while approaching a land-out field is a huge distraction, the time should have been spent assessing the crops. If it's important, they'll call back. :-) The phone call was probably from a duct-cleaning service.

Хочу такого же тоже🥲🤗

Two mistakes. Attending to your phone on final and not flying the plane. And, having it float free in the cabin.

nice vdo friend...great capture......greetings from a hardcore railfan/traveler from calcutta,India

oh my goodness !

What happens afterwards? Does a tow plane come or do you truck in a trailer? Does the farmer get compensated for any loss?

Some of the most stupidest flying I've seen on KZbin, hope you are still alive. I'm hoping your chief flying instructor from where you fly from saw this, and grounded you permanently. But please don't have children the genepool is in a bad enough state as it is........

It all looks smooth and safe from above.

DAS klassische Beispiel wie man ES NICHT MACHEN DARF...Hauptsach nochmal schnell das Scheiss Handy bedienen..KEINE Einteilung keine Planung..nix nada..niente...absolut ALLES falsch gemacht

Такое солнышко! Добро пожаловать!

это он только что родился?! впервые вижу такого новорожденного))) обычно в видосах здесь они долго отходят от родов, глазки зажмурят и кричат, дрожат.

Shouldn’t have been playing with the phone when lining up to land.

The vario sounds good for aerobatics... 00:36 "Honey what will we do this evening?" "Oh, you grab the trailer, take a ride of about 200 km and bring me and the plane back home..." "What?... dood... dood... dood..." 😂 Nice to see an outlanding in high crops and how quick it can turns ugly. Glad evereything was ok. Have seen the same a while ago with an DG-200 and one wing was damaged. Not so bad, but a case for repair.

Though it is already 4 years old but that might be the worst (non lethal) outlanding I've seen so far... there's not much left to do wrong

Какая прелесть!

That landing could have been better flown and planned (IMHO)

That low turn was very dumb. Could have crashed that glider straight into the ground.

Это АРАБСКИЕ ЭМИРАТЫ?НЕТ?!!? ТОГДА Я ПОШЕЛ НАЗАД!!!...

"Скажите, пожалуйста, а где я?"))

What a moron playing with the phone on final!

Беленький,хорошенький,любознательный!

Your 180 degree U turn before final was to me surprising and possibly not the only option available if I may respectfully make a comment.

Сладость какая))

Умничка знакомится с миром

Have to admit, it looked mowed to me.

Ah, familiar sight: An ASW20 like the one I used to have :).

Why didn’t you answer the phone .....?

Щас этому ребёнку 13 лет

Did you get to meet the farmer & his shot gun? 😬😬😬

I had a scary first solo in a 2-33 just last week. During aerotow we went through a huge rotor vortex and I got nervous and disconnected from the tow plane. While flying back to the airport at pattern altitude I encountered a lot of wind shear. I flew my downwind leg in a headwind causing me to lose a lot of altitude by pitching down to keep my airspeed high . I flew a very uncoordinated base to final and overshot the runway and then bounced the landing three times. Scariest day of my life, but I’m lucky to have kept flying the plane and kept my airspeed up. A video of my solo is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpWbdqaAjKtgq6c

I too wasn't keen on the low turn but thought you had it nailed. Glad you and your ship OK.

well, thanks for sharing. amazing you were dabbling with your cell phone. landing pattern was not too good- you could have spun out.

NIce ground loop.

At 0:52 you are low and looking at the mobile phone? Shouldn't your focus be on the job at hand. Field selections. The 5 S's. Pre landing checks? Bruno was right in this comment about the last turn. If that had resulted in a spin you would have not had enough height to recover. I learned a lot from this. Many thanks for sharing.

A lot of friction from that crop, or perhaps the dirt wasn't flat enough.

Uff, was the plane alright?

Wow - situation with less options - seems you have worked positive on your karma before that one. thanks for sharing, thumbs up :)

I didn't know the use of Airbrakes was fully optional at landing...

Oh :(
