Am I crazy that I think that gliders would be so much safer than any type of small plane Like if you really did the research on how to fly them properly I know if you do turns too tightly are probably other ways probably are other ways that it can become a very unsafe situation very quickly but as far as mechanical failure goes I feel like they would be much safer than old Cessna airplanes Are old small airplanes that did not make enough power because of the climate or the weather of the day and maybe that is pilot are because they didn't take off properly but still obviously you still have to get a toe up there so you're still relying on a pilot to catch you out there but I hope my line of logic is not totally unreasonable

[@TheBranderCZ]

@@lurk7967 ~would~ they are, the main reason being their glide performance ratio, where most of these mid-high end gliders get from 1:30 to 1:60 glide ratio. (from 1km altitude I can glide 30km distance), when an engine dies in a C152 or C172, you are pretty much looking straight down or not very far ahead for a field to land on. Also as a glider pilot and GA pilot myself, I can tell you that there is nothing more soothing than a silent aircraft where the only thing you hear is wind.

[@tsbrownie]

@@nkristianschmidt Down wind and crosswind imply the wind direction. You typically choose the runway so you are landing against the wind (up wind) which allows landing in the shortest distance and stops you without as much braking. To get to the place where you are flying upwind, you enter the rectangular traffic pattern on the downwind (opposite the landing direction). You fly that until you are past the end of the runway where you turn crosswind. Then when you are nearly lined up with the runway, you turn to "final" and descend to the runway.

I did a bit of gliding once, and we always took it very high on landing. I struggle to recall the height, but we would start our circuit at 1000 ft, and would usually be well over 500 ft by the time we turned onto the runway. Gliders have really good spoilers that make them drop like stones, so getting down to the runway is no problem whatsoever. The permise was that we didn't have engines, so if we were low and got stuck in sinking air, we couldn't climb out. Now I only had 20 hours, and it was a long time ago. I can only assume this pilot knows his stuff. But seeing this just irks me. I would have been a lot higher. Hell, I would have landed straight in from the 2 second mark.

It's just a different type of flight - lower approach speed and flaps = steeper rate of descent but they could also come in fast & shallow if need be - but could never compete with a glider's lift ratio. I've never flown a glider before but would love to try it out. I imagine the absence of engine noise would be nice. What exactly is the constant whirring sound, change in ascent/descent?

[@spidey19355]

numbnerve I’ve only done it once, but it honestly just feels like you’re floating on the wind. It’s pretty calming once you get over the fact that you’re flying an aircraft with no engine lol. A powered plane takes you up with a line and then releases you once you’re in a good position. While they’re dragging you the ride is pretty bumpy, but immediately calms once you’re released. Once you’re up, you just glide around and enjoy the sights. The absence of noise definitely makes it a unique experience.

I appreciate his confidence in bleeding off the speed for a perfect landing.

[@fallinginthed33p]

Bleeding speed with a hard bank over a town... And that final turn over warehouses to line up with the runway made my heart jump in my throat. At least the locals won't be complaining about the noise.

This was one of the most unique glider approaches I have seen. Great scenery capture, the rain and low cloud deck, all the factors were present to give this a thumbs up.

Awesome, thank you!

[@Musician_Robert]

At that low altitude, I was concerned for his safety. Of course, he knew where that landing strip was located 😀

[@trainzandtrombones]

That was pretty epic to watch, it really gives a hint as to why people fly.

[@Lehmann108]

This guy flys nicely! The glide ratio must be insane to fly like that.

[@replayer6211]

I had pretty much speed, that improved his glide ratio.

[@SteFly]

The glide ratio of the LS8 with 15 m wings is about 43:1, so with 1000 m height I can glide 43 km, at least in calm air. But here I have also speed which I reduce till the landing and that extra energy also helps for the safety margin. Thank you!

[@skybirdnomad]

@@SteFly do you have to account for human error in that as well?

Beautiful approach and touchdown. Thanks for sharing!

[@coriscotupi]

Very nice! And the gimbal-mounted camera makes for excellent in-cockpit imaging, smoothing exterior view beautifully, while giving us some sense of the aircraft's internal view gyrations. More pilots should use this technique.

[@Mike-Bell]

Flip dude. Not even a computer could make such a perfect touchdown. Humans are awesome machines! 😀

[@LookintomyBarrel]

Guessing height and distance to turn and land without engines must be an art.....when you were turning away from runway i thought if you had enough height to get back...great vid

[@dalegreer3095]

You learn the landmarks, and what direction and speed you should have at each. Then if you're going too fast or too slow at one landmark, you know how to adjust for the next one. Somebody had to be the first to figure those out though.

[@aloysiuss_sx9559]

that is the cleanest landing I've ever seen, wish I'd perform one like this

[@stt.9433]

no he has speed, he was going low for whatever reason making it look like he was really close to crashing. When in reality he has big margin for error since if he pulls he will gain alitude quickly.

[@saulcr839]

@@stt.9433 He had not to much speed to go up again and keep the speed up, it's a glider, this things have not engine, they have to fly with hot air pressure winds that's the noose you can hear at the beginning its a barometer and literally say you when the plane can go up or not!

[@pharmaciemorcire3120]

Bitch u gussed it

[@lucbrunner1331]

But its fucking impossible to overshoot you have very effective airbrakes. If thats not enough you can go for a dive and the resistance of the airbrakes increases squared to your speed so its even more effective. If thats not enough you can put down one wing and do a circular landing...
