I’ve watched three glider videos back to back. I never gave them a second thought because I thought they were always silly seeing them in the long trailers on the road, how they have to get towed into the air, can’t land without tipping over and don’t even have proper landing gear. However after seeing a few of these videos I get it now. An amazing and freeing way of being up there in one I am sure. Thanks for sharing! This was absolutely incredible.

The winds are quite predictable when you're on land aside a huge body of water. They are very predictable unless there's a monsoon or hurricane out there. With those cliffs like we see here, I can see how it is even more predictable what those winds will do with a glider. Beautiful video. Fun to watch.
@tedshredz584 жыл бұрын
The wind is coming into the shore at nearly 90* The wind has to flow up over the land. If the pilot puts his glider into the place where the wind is going up faster than his glider will sink, he can put the nose down and trade the potential energy for kinetic energy. It’s like a surfer riding a wave......
@mickflick89982 жыл бұрын
@@tedshredz58 Great description. I flew in a glider a few times at a local club where, in addition to the usual thermal type of lift there was another form nicknamed by the club as "wave". Someone explained to me it was caused by the wind meeting hills many miles away from the airfield and then moving forward wave-like over the field. "We're trying to catch the up ones", he told me.
@hyime69 Жыл бұрын
@@mickflick8998 The type of lift here on the coast is dynamic lift from the Wind hitting the Cliffs and Hills and going up and over them "Wave" Lift is due to Air flowing over Mountains that are in lines one behind the other the Airflow flows over and then down the other side until it meets the next line of mountains then it raises again if the Frequency is right as the air starts to resonate and with each new line of mountains the Air gains more and more height in Mountains like the Alps wind like the Misteral can generate lift into the tens of thousands of feet it also is marked by Cloud formations known as Lenticular which form smooth Saucer shape clouds or Cigars so they are different types of lift that Glider Pilots use to gain height

High performance, high aspect ratio sailplanes are the most beautiful man made things in the sky, to me. Saw a gorgeous display at Oshkosh many years back, with triple multicolored smoke and a pilot lazily performing pretty much continuous aerobatics in one, starting really high...again, one of the most beautiful of all the flight demos that week. Looks like a great place to do some distance diamonding if that coast keeps going on like that, and if that is allowed (not a glider pilot, not manned, anyway, so I don't know the requirements).

At these speeds we were flying, the forces on the stick are relatively high. If there would have been an unexpected turbulence or Tim would have done something unexpected, I would not have been able to react fast enough with two fingertips. The distance to Tim and the height above ground is very low. (It's a wide angle lens) There is no big margin for any failure. Usually I fly with my two fingertips, especially when flying higher in thermals. But when the life of two pilots can be in danger, I prefer the fist.

Question: I used to paraglide and skydive and BASE jump, and in those aviation sports a big way to stay safe was to not fly over any unlandable terrain without having a reasonable landing area in mind. This is obviously more important with a glide ratio of three-ish or ten-ish, but I’ve always wondered how you guys make decisions about flying close to terrain or at low altitudes when you have a GR of 40 or so - when on the one hand you can cover some serious distance, but on the other hand it’s a lot more difficult (and dangerous?) to conduct an off-site landing. So when you fly so low like this, and you’re presumably far from a landing strip, what are your outs? Are you assuming that you can catch enough lift off of the coastline to put it down in an adjacent field? Are beach landings easy to do? Or is it just so easy to maintain ridge lift that you’re willing to risk a glider water landing to fly an awesome line?
@Antennenwels1 Жыл бұрын
The ridge lift is reliable if you are experienced + they carry a lot of air speed to account for areas without lift. Worst case scenario you have to dump it in the ocean. Which is expensive but not dangerous and very unlikely
