In the three weeks since I completed the analysis that started this conversation, I have reviewed and interpreted over 250 glider accidents to try to find out why accidents really happen, how many of them are avoidable, and what each of us can to to prevent them. I've certainly learned some important lessons for my own flying in the process. I hope some of you will find it useful as well. Please read it with an open mind. Here's the link:

Clemens,

This is such a thoughtful, thorough, and practical analysis of glider accidents. Thank you so much for taking the time to think it through, do the research, and write it up. Is there any way you could present this at the upcoming SSA convention? I would donate something towards your air fare, if that is an issue.

I would also love to have a little "reminder card" that I could consult on a regular basis, maybe tucked in the glider pocket. We tend to forget even important information like this fairly quickly.

Thanks again,

Matt
