ASK21 Pattern at Texas Soaring Association

[@TyGunnlaugsson]

You are 100% right! Having a tough instructor with a keen attention to detail really helped me! My glider checkride was a breeze! Now im working on my SEL PPL

Its a variometer. Apart from being on the ground every time you hear it beep the glider is gaining energy from a thermal or rising air. So if it is beeping we are most likely going up in altitude.

@K0S0s Nice to meet you kyle! I go to the gliderport just about every weekend Ive just been busy the past two finishing my college applications. I soloed after 46 total flights. Ive only been flying at TSA since July. I did have 21 flights in a Civil Air Patrol's L-23 Super Blanik a year before joining TSA.

Geez, he landed fine both times. No one died, plane is fine, landed on the runway....Instructor "You're doing it wrong".

[@RotorcraftDriver]

What is that beeping sound? It sounds like that game from the 90s Simon says lol.

[@K0S0s]

Hey, My name is Kyle and im a new youth member at TSA... I love this video and I hope to see you around the glider feild. Thanks sooooo much for uploading this, btw how long did it take you to fly by yourself like this (whole flight)?

[@TyGunnlaugsson]

Take off at 1:54 and second takeoff at 7:40

[@TexasSoaring]

Come fly with us!

[@TyGunnlaugsson]

Yes, They have a youth program that i believe can accept people as young as 12 look up TSA Gliderport on google and contact the youth coordinator, and he will put you on a waiting list. I'm sure you could do it. You can fly solo at 14

[@K0S0s]

We would love for you to join us out at TSA
