@@chamobrown582 its called rope brake, on the airfield I go to at least but it's a metal cable

I'm guessing they're kinda made to break? Like shock loading. Better the cable than the glider ripping apart.

I had to do a forced landing in a Piper Warrior during my first flight solo to the training area in Victoria Australia. The throttle lever cable jammed due to carby butterfly jamming . It was installed incorrectly.

[@Madrina950]

Great pilot! No panic, all cool sculpted skill!😊

[@user-hg4ok2jw2m]

At the very end it looks like the cockpit/glider rolled over on its side.

[@qzg7857]

I think he opened canopy

[@AlliedBroom9081]

Yea it was the canopy

[@zawadlttv]

yea, they dont have a triangular gear like most engine powered planes, so they actually roll a little to the side. just like the u2 does. but after coming to a stop they opened the canopy, whichade it look like a full flip over

[@Shojohn11]

It's possible but more likely when a glider comes to a stop even a quick stop like that it does not have landing gear like a normal aircraft just a wheel underneath so it will lay down either on the right or the left side where the wingtip touches the ground

[@steveb8433]

I had the same thing happen to me when I was in the air cadets. Pilot wasn't fazed though. Came down in a field opposite the airfield.

[@Berend-ov8of]

Not too many trees around helps. It being a flight school drill makes it a lot less dangerous too. I had a winch cable break on my first glider flight ever. Just along for the ride. We missed the trees by a few feet only. I was ready to do it again right after. It's not the speed that kills, but the angle.

Man looked like it was a bit ruff at the end hope you made it put with minimum damage. Always enjoy your content

[@Soknik01]

It was a clean landing. I think we are seeing the canopy open at the end.

[@possumverde]

​@@Soknik01Perhaps. He still had forward momentum when it happened though and you'd think he'd wait until a full stop before opening it. To me, it looked more like his right wing may have dipped due to the rough terrain causing it to catch the ground and pull him that way. At such a low speed, there wouldn't necessarily have been any significant damage to the glider thus making it a "clean" landing.

Well done kid.

Stimmt, '82 '83 war's in die Rhönlerche nicht so schlim. PH-239! Und and es war immer nur eine Bruch-Sicherheit. Zwar zweimal ziehen, allerdings.

[@user-yj2mp9zu4s]

....und durch die dramatische Kameraführung sieht es aus wie eine mittlere Katastrophe. Was hier eine Notlandung ist nannte sich früher unter 100 m "Landung voraus", über 110 m da kann man unter Beachtung der Querneigung noch eine verkürzte Platzrunde drehen und normal landen und dazwischen kam es wahlweise auf die Größe des Landeplatzes, den Wind und den Piloten an. Trotzdem ein cooler Actionclip.

[@BruceDuncan]

Love the Puchacz. I learned to fly in them! Shame the max winch launch speed is so low lol

[@peroleable]

A part of the training the instructor released the tow shortly after takeoff.

[@richyrichk]

Title, "Winch Launch" might help. The camera field of view does not make it obvious to this old tow pilot who also was a winch launch glider pilot a few times. Don't put in jump cuts of the forward view- the amount of pitch change from winch to glide speed is much larger than power pilots experience- show as much forward as you did rear. Flying looked clean. NIce seeing parachutes on.

Good cockpit drill, but It would be better to wait a while after broke the rope with unhook. In this configuration rope can spin around the stabilizer what can become so dangerous. Just count 1-2-3 after saving airspeed and then pull the release handle 😀

BOKS in Dutch. Push nose down, pull cable release twice, watch if air brakes are still in, check airspeed. You see how fast you must do that, or you will die.

[@user-ex7tq5jl3b]

If I were you I would have gone around seeing how high you were. But seeing as the runway was so long it is a good thing to land ahead. Just a longer trip back to the LP.

[@flynndobson5473]

Grease and check your ropes man

[@Gargamoth]

Is it a rope? Shouldn't there be something stronger holding the steering components together?

[@dariusz078]

I think It is rope between winch spool and glider that pull the glider from the ground to provide initial take off. If it breaks shortly after the take off, you don't have enough speed to continue flight and you have to land asap

[@ashleym2878]

It's designed not too strong just in case there's a situation where the relies fails. And for whatever reason the glider gives a huge jult that could take down both aircraft better for the rope to break. Also the tow plane can relies the rope on its end

[@vernscheck4546]

Tow rope

[@pebble24]

sometimes they're metal and sometimes regular ropes. they're strong as tho, it's incredibly hard to actually break a rope. in this case it looks like the instructor released the rope to simulate a launch failure. however in actual flying a small metal piece called a weak link may break to stop you overstressing the airframe

[@VladimirGitcherocksoff]

I'm always impressed by the way pilots are able to keep their composer in bad situations. Interesting how such a thing can be trained into people. Equally impressive with special operations military and even just regular infantry. I think they call it "stress inoculation" or something like that. Just exposing people to more and more stressful situations and learning how to remain calm and work through it to a solution. Apparently breathing techniques are very useful.

One of the first things you do before taking off is check which way the wind is coming from and plan ahead if you have a rope break. Do you have enough altitude to return.

If the rope breaks doesnt the glider just do what its supposed to do? I get if its on the way up and you aren't at a safe height to level it off

[@richard--s]

Autsch... Aber angekommen. Wie war das, eine Landung, wo man davongehen kann, ist eine gute Landung. Wenn man das Flugzeug wiederverwenden kann, dann wäre es eine sehr gute Landung... Naja, eine Ausweichfläche bei Seilriss statt einer Autobahn wäre gefragt... Ich kenne einen Flugplatz, da liegt dahinter in ein bischen Abstand (Wasser) ein Modellflugplatz, das geht auch nicht gut aus... Zur Not ginge es, wenn man die Landung noch passend einteilen kann und wenn dort keiner fliegt oder wenn die weglaufen, aber einen Segelflieger hört man ja nicht kommen... Und knapp wird es allemal.

"The rope didnt break" ! the weak link just broke, probably because genius here, pulled up on the stick and created too much drag, that's why they have a safety weak link on the tow cable. However theres no need to panic like this and churn the butter, just land it on the ample remaining runway ! "Without rolling it over at the end, as seen here at the end of clip. 😢

​@@truekisokait's incredibly hard to actually break a rope. the weak link is what breaks, not the rope

[@truekisoka]

@@pebble24 Both can break. The weak link breaks most of the time but I've also seen the rope itself break a few times. So yes, it does break. Whatever it may have caused it, it does but it can also be fixed quite fast.
