As a glider pilot who packed in flying 30 years ago, I find four things absolutely terrifying about modern gliders with all these "aids":
1. The amount of objects capable of falling off indifferently designed mounts to jam your stick.
2. The sheer distraction of all these additional screens causing internalisation of the scan rather than lookout for other aircraft.
3. The general lack of head movement on go-pro films of modern glider pilots, failing to execute a proper lookout.
4. The obscuration of portions of the canopy with these screens, meaning that even if a proper lookout was conducted you'd still not see some threats.
I think your post title is very apt. I would pose the question: "How many aids and screens are too many?" - as no-one else appears to be asking it.
You’re not the only one to have those thoughts, I was thinking of making a separate video about that topic…
All that. I am inactive about 5 years now, but our club Schweizers had, all in the panel, a compass, silent vario, altimeter, ASI, turn n slip. And of course a yaw string. We never went XC, but I had a kneeboard with paper chart and a handheld radio.
My glider CFIs taught me things like how to judge airspeed by sight angle to the horizon ( also vital for determining if you are going to make your intended LZ).
"Eyes outside!" was the most repeated instruction.
-I already knew how to fly and navigate with basic tools because I'd earned my PPASEL in 1996, when GPS was in its infancy, and CFIs were really big on eyes outside, fly the airplane, etc. And navigating with only compass, clock, chart, and my good old cardboard E6B.
@@SlowlySailing-lc1cs Likewise, I flew a Ka8, and had a spirit compass, a chinagraph pencil in a arm pocket, a chart stuffed down my right boot an altimeter, ASI and an audio vario and a yaw-string. That was it. We'd also had two pilots killed a matter of weeks before I joined who'd collided in a thermal, so "lookout" was absolutely hammered during my training. I find watching a lot of these videos taken from aft of the pilot's head profoundly frightening, as there's no head movement at all. it is reckoned, that in a collision at 3000', only 40% of pilots will successfully bail, and of those who do, only 60% survive. it get's a bit better with altitude, but the violence of a mid-air can injure you, and preclude being able to get out, or render you unconscious. Only one of our chaps got out but his parachute had only started to open when he hit the ground. He was killed on impact. The other chap lost his wings, never got out and "lawn-darted". In the aftermath, one of the widows came to the club from time to time. All very very sad, and completely avoidable.
@@PureGlide I would regard that as a major and much needed topic to cover, including posing the questions concerning workload pressing buttons etc, obscuration of the canopy, things snaggable bailing out, lookout, and things potentially jamming the controls. My old CFI would have had a ruddy stroke if he saw a lot of these videos. Above all, the question "how many screens are too many?" needs to be asked.
Moi aussi !
I watch pureglide while I’m flying
as it should be
My main motivation to conclude my training
I love watching the RUclips vids while flying as well. Ideally from a window seat of a 777 😉
I watch pureglide while I'm driving to improve my training even more
You're a very naughty boy! ;-)
Thank You, Tim, for this review.
Tim you are a genius, I feel really lucky to have you monitoring & keeping me updated on stuff I simply don't have the time to research like you do (and in quite a unbiased typically kiwi manner) thanks mate. Its great info.
Glad it is useful!
Thanks Tim. I recently migrated from xcsoat to navigator. Much easier to set up and use. Even add information boxes while flying super.simple. I normally have navigator on the dashboard tablet and putetrackon my phone. I think, the ideal flying setup. Skysight, we'll pre flight planning along with seeyou navigator task planning. Automatically syncs with the tablet in the glider. Thanks.for all your work in the glider community.
Great stuff! I might have to quote you on that :)
On a rainy day or early in my season, being able to see where and how people are flying gliders, has turned soaring into a spectator sport.
What is the time lag for displaying OGN and ADSB traffic? A Powerflarm with an Air Avionics Air Traffic Display (ATD) provides real time information and collision warnings for gliders and 1090 Mhz ADSB targets. PowerFlarm ignores US 978 MHz ADSB targets, but the ADT will merge inputs from Powerflarm and a 978 ADSB-in receiver on one simple schematic style screen.
Hi about 3-4 seconds for OGN and ADSB, but only while you’ve got a good internet connection of course!
I flew in a much simpler time (1985-1997). No GPS, no Ipad, no LCD displays. I think it was a case of less tech more fun.
just had a quick look at puretrack and it looks pretty impressive. only small issue I saw was that only imperial units seem to be supported, while in Europe mostly metric units are used :)
Hi thanks for that! Click the PureTrack menu top left, click the cog for settings, and you can change the units in there.
I have to say, Tim, that your development efforts look pretty impressive (& economical for the users, too).
Thank you!
hands up, is anybody still looking out of the cockpit ? Seriously, in cars mobiles are prohibited for a good reason and now we see gliders equipped sometimes with 2 mobile phones displaying all kinds of information. In most cases you actually have to scroll through the data or are inclined to do so. This is an enormous distraction source and takes away time where we can't see other gliders joining the thermal etc. We can't turn back this trend. Gliding is turning more and more technical, thermals get more and more crouded because everybody wants to join the biggest thermal popping up in weglide copilot.
That was the point of my video! looking at screens too much doesn't keep you in the air. Only the clouds, gliders and other thermal indicators will do that :)
A great survey of options thanks. I had to laugh when you said 3 to 4 Kt thermals absolute rubbish thats a good day in the UK
Haha I suspect Skysight was overly optimistic that day. At the moment we have about 30 minutes of soarable activity at the most each day
But you forgot XCSoar and similar for flight computers and OGN from live tracking. Best pricing to suit 'economical' glider pilots.
yeah although they don't do much live data in the cockpit, a comparison of flight computers/apps would be another good video
@@PureGlide Thats true for the main fork. However, you can get live thermals and live aircraft based on OGN data with the right fork.
@@azubilive4831 i am super interested in this fork. how can i get that? do you have a link for me?
