    Wow that's amazing Stefan,
    I'm 60 years old and just started glider flying lessons here in the South of England. It's people like
    Yourself that inspire me. I wish I had done it when I was young, but when you have a young family and house to provide for it's not always possible. I drive coaches all around Europe ( well I did until Covid raised it's ugly head) and always go to gliding clubs when I'm near one to watch. Especially in Germany and Austria when I do ski tours.
    Stay save to all. 🤝

    Ich wohne quasi im Schwarzwald und frage mich in meiner Region, wie man dort bei einer nötigen Außenlandung (bspw. wegen fehlender Thermik oder Seilriss bei Windenstart) vorgeht wenn die Region quasi vollständig durch Wald bedeckt ist. Das ist in diesen Gegenden durchaus ein Risiko, oder?

    • @SteFly
      @SteFly  3 года назад +2

      Man muss immer eine Landemöglichkeit in Reichweite haben. Moderne Segelflugzeuge haben eine beträchtliche Gleitzahl, die ASG29 z.B. 50:1. Bei idealen Bedingungen könnte man also mit 1000 m Höhe 50 km weit gleiten. Das Navigationssystem zeigt auch die Ankunftshöhe für erreichbare Landemöglichkeiten an.

    • @EirikAnd99
      @EirikAnd99 3 года назад +1

      Man geht aber immer von einer etwas schlechteren Gleitzahl als optimales Gleiten aus. Dann ist der Trick, eine Landewiese im Blick zu haben und früh genug die Landeentscheidung treffen und sofort zum Landefeld fliegen.

    Stefan, new viewer here and never glided before. Just Paragliding but not for few years and have always been interested in gliders. At 14:30 you mention something about dumping water. Why is that? I'm guessing you needed the extra weight for some reason but why take it in the first place if you later dump it?

    • @SteFly
      @SteFly  3 года назад

      We can ballast our gliders for better performance at good thermal conditions, so we are able to enhance our average speed. Before landing we usually dump the water ballast, so that the structure is less loaded and we can fly slower.

    Q1. When flying the glider, what indicators do you use to believe that a thermal air up current is close?
    🌏🇭🇲

    • @EnniodBleu
      @EnniodBleu 3 года назад +4

      Gday John, from Adelaide. There is no instrument that can predict a thermal. The vario that you can hear tells you if the glider is rising or falling and the rate of that. The long lower tones indicate the glider is falling or in sinking air. You can use the vario to centre in a thermal so that you climb more effectively. To predict where a thermal might be requires you to be observant to what is outside the glider. Small puffy clouds that are growing indicate air rising under them (carrying moisture to the height it condenses) so you tend to fly towards them. Some clouds form into "streets" which have more or less constant lift over large distances. Otherwise you can also look for other gliders circling as they tend to only circle in thermals. Mulitiple gliders will often "gaggle" in one thermal so these can be easy to spot but hard to fly precisely due to having to avoid collisions. On clear blue days with no cloud (low moisture) you can feel turbulence which can indicate a nearby thermal, You usually turn towards the wing that lifts in the turbulence, then try to find the centre of the thermal listening to the vario.

    • @MauriceGauder
      @MauriceGauder 7 месяцев назад

      Sometimes the air itself is sinking, also when you're flying faster you lose efficiency. There is a specific speed to fly between thermals depending on the glider and the thermal, if you fly too slow you’re to slow if you fly to fast you lose to much altitude and need to climb longer, so it’s better to fly faster sometimes

    do you always wear a parachute? is that by choice or is it a requirement in Germany?

      In Germany it is a requirement for trainings and competition flights. At this flight it would not have been mandatory but I always fly with a parachute. I don't know of anyone in Germany flying without ;)

      Well, if you have a powered one, you could theoretical fly at night- but that is illegal. Gliders are not certificited for NVFR

      Yes it is perfectly possible to fly at night using ridge or wave lift, some sailplanes are night certified in some countries...(but very rare)...not everywhere is EASA controlled.....

      @EirikAnd99 3 года назад

      Possible hmmmmm maybe, legal no, at least not in Germany. It is at least not safe because you are flying based on visual clues in a glider. Gliders do not have the necessary instruments to fly at night.
