Speaking of which, We have a guy who lands A LOT with his gear up. This time he scrapped his whole nose. Somehow he didn't have anything broken and walked away good
My dad flew over 5.7K as a private powered pilot. The last planes were Cessna 210s. He never landed ever with wheels up. He had his checklist he followed every time. He was consistent, always. Once though, it was winter and he was landing at a well known runway for him, Grande Prairie in northern Alberta, CA, and like usual he would land right on the numbers. But this one time, the snow drift at the end of the runway was so high his wheels hit the piled snow. He pitched over and his prop struck the surface. He reflected to me later, that it would have been as stupid as a wheels up landing for him to crater his plane right on the numbers. Would have been an interesting report: Pilot error crash due to repetitive habits.
A big thank you from Canada ...Stefan, a number of our club members enjoy watching your video's. Keep up the great work; soaring in not as big in Canada as it is in Europe but we are trying to grow the sport here. Your videos are inspirational and exciting.
I'm not always following German dialog, however the "Uh Oh" from your bystander is quite universal. Thanks for all your videos and I share sympathy with your fails. We are human and that is what makes us fun creatures world wide.
Stefan when that touchdown took place and then the sound of the rumble and I'm thinking ewww that sounds like lack of a wheel. I hope the glider wasn't damaged too much and it was an easy repair. Thank you so much for all the great vids. I'm sorry I missed you in Utah, let us know when you come through again I would love the chance to meet you. Have a great and safe time my friend.
Very good. This year I landed gear down in a Pilatus B-4 in a very rough grass strip. A bit of hard dirt bounced the glider enough to snap the gear up. No damage but the sound in your video is what it was like. Embarrassing to have 3 people help lift it to put the wheel down. But that is soaring. To a good rest of 2021 and all of 2022 for you and the world.
I learned about fixation" one day while setting up for a perfect landing and being informed by my instructor in the back seat that I was about to land on a drag strip which was so beautifully paved but unfortunately not where I was to land which was the little asphalt strip adjacent to the drag strip. Fixation she said as we were really running low on energy and had barely enough left to make it over the six ft. chain link fence at the end of the runway. "Aim right for the fence she said and pull altitude just at the last minute and you'll be fine. We made it successfully and I was able to barely land at the glider port strip.
Thank you for all of your videos and I wish you a safe and happy New Year. I have a question that I have been thinking of why do not sailplanes have a attitude indicator? I saw that you where flying over the clouds and if you get into the clouds you will be in serious problems and lose awarnes on what is up and down in just a few seconds. B.R. Anders
The only gliding I'll be doing is in a simulator whenever Microsoft decide to put some on their new sim,then I'll be off to Switzerland for some ridge soaring.Have a good new year Stefan...............
If you want a fabulous gliding simulator, go to Condor 2 ! Incredibly realistic. Used by national teams to prepare competitions and for basic training.
@@louisdresse8650 I already paid for Condor 1,Condor 2 makes all of my scenery obsolete.I could not see the justification for paying for it all over again,so I dumped it.
@@russellharris5072 condor 2 has nothing to do with the 1 version. Its really worthed the 49 Euros ! If you are a glider pilot you should really spend the 49 Euros.
@@louisdresse8650 Aha,there's the trouble,I'm a flight simmer not a glider pilot but when everything is normal I often visit Lasham gliding club to watch the gliding for an hour or so.Unfortunately last year was not the year thanks to this lousy pandemic..............
When you buy an old wodden wreck: for free up tp 1500 euros. when you want an wodden glider you can actually fly:2000-7000euros the first good gfk glider coast with trailer between 10.000 and 30.000, and buying an new glider more than 100.000 up to half an million
You can retract the gear while on the ground? I thought landing gears had an overcentering mechanism that made it virtually impossible to retract them on the ground, at that would involve "extending them a bit more" and effectively having to lift the weight of the entire plane in the process. Though having to let go of the stick momentarily, or fly with your left hand, having the gear handle on the right side avoids situation like this. ...and why did he even let go of the handle? It doesn't look like a flapped plane so he has to adjust the flaps, and in case I am wrong, usually you have to put it in negative flaps not positive as you usually would do by pulling the handle. I am not trying to critisize, I am just trying to understand with the intend of learning. Learning from other people's mistakes is way cheaper than learning from your own.
How do you land an early LS glider with the gear up? The gear handle is right next to the airbrake handle. You can´t deploy the airbrakes without noticing the huge black handle in the way of the blue handle. >I have flown LS gliders for more than 30 years and one of the things I like the best about them is their cockpit layout. You just dont forget to deploy the gear.
Ohne Fahrwerk gelandet? Jeder macht immer ein Pre-Circuit Check. Rad, Wasser und Flaps. Rad - immer drausen. Wasser - haben wir noch nicht. Flaps - kein Flaps. Wieso ein Check vergessen?!

One of my instructor alway says: there are 2 kinds of pilots, the ones who have landed with gear up, and the ones who will.
;)))
That's what I got told too.. Followed by what did you forget to do? Ah... pre landing checks!
@@titahibayflier3160 yeah that’s a classic😂 hopefully during my licence exam I didn’t forget it

At least German, Dutch, and English are similar enough to sort of understand

Hi, der einzige fail war die Wahl des Titels. Happy landings in 2022!
Alter wie hast du die Aufnahme bei 1:45 hingekriegt? Drohne? 🤔 hammer aufnahmen!
Schau mal beim @Jonathan Steinhoff vorbei.
Whenever I fly a retractable wheel glider I like to say "gear down and locked" on the radio entering the pattern to force myself to remember

What does pull altitude mean
So glad I'm not the only one who has performed a wheel up landing.... Ah the smell of hot fibreglass on dry grass... The memory never fades.

1st! Happy New Year Stefan!!!!! New Years Eve here!
Zwar schon älter, aber wunderschönes Video. Vielen Dank!
Cool stuff 👍 Happy New year to everyone. Looking towards to some more epic glider and landscape scenery.
Here's to a great 2021 ! ! ! ! ! !
Thank you, Stefan! Happy New 2021 Year and all the best in new season!:-)

Nice video. I want to fly like you one day
Happy New Year, Stefan! Only 2 "major" fails hahaha that's a good year! 😂
Thanks for all your video and suggest.It s a pleasure.

I was expecting more fails in this glider fails compilation video!
Was that a gear up landing ? Any damage ?
He quickly noticed one flap missing.
Bons voos no próximo ano .Feliz Ano Novo! Ilhabela - Brasil-
My dad just retired with over 30,000 hours and not once landed with the wheels up.
maybe he was flying with his wheels down :D :D
Bravo Stefan you are very good also like movie director
Sehr schönes Video wieder und wie ich lese auch noch Ehrentag heute: dann ein schönes Wiegenfest 🥳
3:28 which glider is that?
I think an dou discus,arcus or twin shark
😂Gratulation
04:00, ОК-3044, electric engine? Cool contents, Thanks.
Ohne Fahrwerk..die Eier-Raspel eingeschaltet! :-)
What for did you do this video????
So to watch it you could
Gear down and locked !!! I m m e r 😮, auch bei Aussenlandungen!
I'm not paying for that! 😋
Ran over his own camera! I get it, I ran over my own pair of glasses one time...

Thank you for not being perfect and making me feel human...😅
How can you forget to put the gear down holy hahahaha
