I once experienced a cable snap at the towplane doing this , training and staying cool kept us alive....

[@excellenceinanimation960]

What was your altitude?

[@gregohagan7668]

Yawn. Really not an issue.

Beautify countryside for soaring! Thanks for sharing your transition to gliders! As you know the whole focus on airplane training is to go from point A to point B. In gliders, it’s to be safe while having FUN! You’re discovering why a glider is a whole different category of aircraft and not just an airplane without an engine as even gliders with engines are not airplanes. 6:50 keep that yaw string in the middle. Looked like you had a tendency to skid the turn there and it’s very important not to do that. Learning to fly a glider well, will make you a better airplane pilot too. Best of luck and safe soaring!

Thanks Bill! The adverse yaw from this glider is something I'm still trying to get use to, it turns so different then a 172 haha. I appreciate the feedback!

When I did my glider Cert. we also had to do spins. It was mandatory. Is this still so?

[@theeverydaypilot]

Not required for Glider cert or add-on to a ASEL

[@basilhamilton9528]

Hey what airport, school or club is this again?

[@theeverydaypilot]

Flint River Soaring in Quitman GA

[@weatherherk1]

Need to do this in the mountains where there’s some up drafts

[@gregohagan7668]

The answer, easy if you are reasonably co-ordinated, otherwise Aerotowing can seem like a Black Art, it is not.
