Gliding Course - aerotow, some turns and landing.

[@madbstard1]

Wow! That was bloody amazing. It felt like watching Mark Evans doing his PPL training. Can't wait to see the next video. Happy flying Kris.

Good instruction, very calm and positive.... Nice to hear.....

[@markricketts4011]

Great video, thanks. Lot’s of helpful and clearly expressed advice. I found the aero tow guidance particularly good.

[@TomKirkman1]

This instructor brings up an excellent point - if you get out of position a little bit, you do not need to try and fly the glider back into position. Just use very subtle control input and allow the tow plane to pull you back into position. Well done.

[@KrisCochrane]

Very true! Thanks for your comment.

[@mrtom64]

Absolutely fantastic! 20 minutes just fly's by.....literally! Thanks for filming and posting this...really enjoyed it, and well done on your gliding too!

that looks like so much fun. I got to ride in a F-15 about 16 years ago when I was in the Air Force, most fun I have ever had. the pilot let me fly for a good bit of the hour we were up great memories.

Great video. Brings back some great memories. You need to experience the launch from a static winch because its frighting to look at but wow what a rush!!!!

Looks amazing Kris. I took a Cessna lesson once and did exactly the same on the controls at first, it took a few minutes to learn not to correct every little move. The glider looks much more relaxed though, might give that a go one day.

[@gartmorn]

sendonefile I did the same at Cumbernauld and was also advised not to over correct. Another experience that stuck in my head was the turbulence we encountered on landing as we passed over the industrial estate. It was apparently caused by the heat rising from the units!

[@FishmanEricRussell]

Now that looks like a lot of fun!

[@FishmanEricRussell]

Got to love the view too

[@marcchambers1972]

great stuff, very interesting to watch 👍👍

[@rakamora2266]

Will we get anymore gliding content ?

[@dolebandit9942]

I`ve seen on Pure Glide`s KZbin glider video`s and he claims the iron Law of glider towing is the tow plane turns left and the glider turns right on release ?

[@gartmorn]

Impressed. Well done! ;-)

[@GoDoddsStudios]

Nice one!

[@marcosscriven]

"It's the other one, James", was just a little worrying (when presumably going for the winch hook instead of the airtow hook). Just about to learn myself - where was your training out of curiosity? Did you carry on with it?

[@roberteliassen5020]

Thumbs up. Thanks!

Have to join the Air Cadets as a Civillian instructor mate, we glide and fly Grob Tutors for free! Staff almost always get to go up too.
