End of Season Sunset Warning for SSA-OLC Participants
Marc Ramsey wrote:
In a typical 15M glider, if you can climb to 17,900 ft MSL an hour
before sunset (which is not uncommon in the western US), what time will
you land if you glide at best L/D to your home airport at 5000 ft MSL?
More than 1:30 later, or more than 0:30 after sunset.
