glider outlanding. Přistání do terénu Ventus C LKHC

[@Smussify]

Thanks for sharing Petr! I am glad you are ok. The best way of learning is to learn from others mistake, and it takes courage to post a video like this. I guess too many pilots never would not have posted it so all respect to you! There have been pointed out many things in the comment what you could have done better and most of them are correct. From the sound of your sigh at the end there i guess you already knew how you performed straight after landing. Please keep posting videos and fly safe!

[@MrKbtor2]

I can hear my instructor yelling "KEEP THE STRING STRAIGHT!"

[@everythingyoudwanttoknow]

Fuck yes

[@sailplanepilotfinn6179]

I bet, the truck driver at the end got really scared!

[@rogeriolopes6297]

Beautiful place, beautiful landing.

[@benjaminboyle3295]

I'm glad you made it over the trees mate.

[@GeirWaterloo]

Looks like plenty of enery for that,

[@Dzordzikk]

It isn´t error, he have speed and energy, so it was solved good and nice place for landing.

[@EnergyBars.Trading]

@@Dzordzikk It was very marginal. His airspeed was just above stall. He had no airbrake deployed at all. VSI was very negative on the turn to final. Glad he solved it, but that was NOT in the slightest a safe outlanding. Just lucky. PS, I've made worse outlandings myself, WITH damage, so no pride here, just experience.

[@blubb9004]

The field you chose is WAY better than our grass strip we use as an airfield :)

[@rcbif101]

Haha, bet that trucker got a startle. I agree with the other comment. Adjusting your camera should be the last thing on your mind on such a low final approach.

[@jgmendes3664]

Once you have a candidate landing field I recommend your circling not exactly over the field, but a little aside so that you can better evaluate ground inclination, presence of obstacles, like poles or wiring, fences, etc. A good landing but could be done in steeper descend with speed control with dive breaks, for more accurate landing spot.

[@easy08154711]

Good landing, bad pattern. But it is easy to criticizes on the screen. Real world is different.

[@christianmeynard4952]

No, the field was chosen too late. This pilot was lucky.

[@easy08154711]

@@christianmeynard4952 How do you know when the field was chosen? The pilot circled above the field in about 450m. I bet the field was chosen by then, and that is early enough and save.

[@christianmeynard4952]

@@easy08154711 No real lap ... Limit-limit approach. It was all improvised at the last moment.

[@easy08154711]

@@christianmeynard4952 Well gliding is permanent improvisation. If you want to plan it you 'd need an engine.

[@PureGlide]

​@@easy08154711 Not true. At 1000 feet above the ground you have 10km/6 mile range. By that height you should know exactly where you are going to land. This fine fellow did not.

[@nm85]

It's really good of you to post this video as an example of how not to fly for people to learn from- thanks!

[@aerowings9027]

The one thing I definitely wouldn't do is messing with the GoPro on final turn, especially in a situation like this. That distraction could have been fatal

[@lautoka63]

While not a brilliant job, it's very useful to have as a training aid, including the comments. Hands up those of us who've never errors flying: thought so!

[@lorenzofornari]

you found the best field, but: speed too high (which flap you used, did you land in L?), bad pattern, jumping the trees at 150 km/h is crazy and unnecessary whatever the field length is.

[@Dzordzikk]

It is better to have 150 than 50 man ...

[@HeyFixThis]

1:00 Overflying the field and starting the circuit @ 300m. ***** Stars 1:21 Hitting a thermal @ 300m, Waaay to much rudder, the plane is sinking. *Star 1:30 Loosing hight, hoping for a thermal and forgets his landing gear in the process. 1:59 The plane is slipping...He is a bit to high. Could be on purpose, could be too much left rudder. 3:12 Good position above the field at 45° & 150m above the ground bit to fast and cuts corner to base ***Star. 3:33 Adjusts Camera mount ;-) 3:36 overshoots final, need to reposition, AGL looks perfect, speed to fast ** Star 3:38 Suddenly he starts to panic in final. It looks like he is cycling with with legs. *star 3:40 He is speeding up to jump over the trees...was no need for that * star 3:47 130 Km/h is to fast for a flapped glider ** star 3:53 Nice touchdown but he forgot his landing gear tress full compared to a it takes courage to post a video like this.

[@golfhotelgolf3009]

How can you overlook the fact his gear was down.

[@miropajarinen2024]

The yaw string.. It hurts to see that you slip all the time.

[@JonathanStCloud-yo5oq]

Thank you for sharing, and glad you made it OK!

[@antondillet466]

Watching it was like I’m in the glider and at the last landing phase it caught my breath and my heartbeat went much higher as I saw this. I think there were more than one options to land safely, am I wrong?

[@keithdouglass3618]

that car under neath . I think he ducked his head . good landing .Keith Australia

[@krzysztofrodak876]

From 1023rd Murphy's law: on an empty road a single truck must be going on a collision course with a landing glider

[@gilnemesis3547]

Well done! 😇

[@pauljanssens4449]

Aimlessly flaundering about, no planning and a poor approach with bad or no speed control. First, learn how to react to what you feel and hear, reacting to your vario is too late as the instrument has a 3 to 8 second delay. The vario is only there to confirm what you hear and feel. Then plan the search for the thermal. The cone shaped hill close by is an excelent thermal pulse point. Last, when you get to the altitude were your pattern and approach plan start, execute, and no straying off the path to find lift. An safe outlanding is a valuable lesson which makes you a better pilot, AND you get the chance to fly again tomorrow

[@everythingyoudwanttoknow]

Not even talking about the yaw. Better tape the yaw string straight as it seemingly has no use.

[@JP-dy9po]

this is a very good summary of all bad things which should be avoided during an out-landing. thanks for the share. good for school !! maybe next time you will have the chance to hit the truck...

[@auleefor]

excellent choice and landing !

[@MyYouTube.]

You are very poor at keeping a clean airflow along with the glider. The wool thread swings too much from side to side ...You have to keep it in the mittle !

[@TheMikeeeCO]

I had a scary first solo 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

[@vladimirjirka1326]

No dobrý, snad jen trošku krátké to políčko. Ale zvládl jsi to bavůrně!!

[@everythingyoudwanttoknow]

Maybe it's better to tape the yaw string straight as it seems no use for you. Scary.

looks like it was not down the way the glider got on the nose

[@vintagedgglass2544]

Nice work! Ignore armchair pilots; you had a plan and executed it well. Excellent field selection

[@PureGlide]

I have a feeling he was aiming for the first field, but was going too high and fast so pulled up over the trees. Why else would he be 'diving' for the trees? Petr can you confirm?

[@stephaniekent8483]

@@PureGlide old skool undershoot procedure :)

[@claywebb8199]

What a shitty critical bunch the glider community seem to be judging by these comments! You walked away and your glider looked undamaged so while things leading up may not have been “perfect” the end result was exactly the same. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.......🙄 👍👍👍👍

[@go2cloudbase]

Unlikely the glider was undamaged as the landing gear was not down.

[@EnergyBars.Trading]

In the glider community, we ALL have a dead friend. It's not so much shitty criticism but a huge concern for each other and keeping each other alive by learning from mistakes. I'm frankly alive because my club is both critical AND helpful to teach to those like me who need correction.

[@Jeff-ub4lr]

Il love all this comments done by people that never get their asses in a glider and never land in the countryside.

[@CorruptoGrande]

I don't understand what most people are criticizing here. I mean, yeah, the pattern could have been a little better but other than that everything was good. If anything he was a little fast. Being so fast he was in no way too low, the trees were no problem at all, as was the truck. There was a good 3m hight seperation from the truck, which is all you need (and really can afford) at this point. He could have gone for a little longer final, with less speed and a steeper sink slope, but in the end everthing looked safe and he handled the situation well.

[@jakubkrupa8751]

Yeah, everything was so good that there was no time to put the landing gear down...

[@Dalboe]

I'll make some bulletpoints, that you've written yourself in your comment, here: -"the pattern could have been a little better" -"he was a little fast" -"3m hight seperation from the truck" -"little longer final" -"less speed" -"steeper sink slope" You seem aware of what's wrong, why do you write it then deny it?

[@CorruptoGrande]

@@jakubkrupa8751 ouch

[@casaamaril]

I must say that I watch many of these outlanding videos and most of them are poorly executed, there are hardly any videos that are showing a correct circuit, approach, preferably without trees, and a well performed landing.

[@ramimehyar481]

Good HOW NOT to execute an outlanding, thank you for posting.

What could he have done to improve his out landing? It looks like he did a good job, good speed control, Nice touchdown.

[@Winniethepopo]

@@pops9190 noce touchdown without landing gear ... diving under treetop before pulling up again during an outlanding... adjustig camera in low final etc.

[@beavhow318]

I think you shall learn back what turn coordination means... This wool string is not a wiper!!! Flying such gliders requires being absolutely rigorous in every point, starting with flight handling.

[@flightbase]

Wow, you should get some FI into a double seater as soon as possible. This is one of the worst videos I`ve ever seen regarding pilot skills. Happy end - but your jar of luck lost a hughe amount.
