Stretching the Final Glide
Low final glide on youtube!
You all should read explanation at the end of video, why so low final part of glide from last thermal actually happened. With usual rules where finish line is on the airfield, result is somethimes such a low final part, however unexpected. It is result of strong sink which cut off 200m of reserve! Such strong sinks are known during final glides in Nitra from same direction. Please read also excelent article on safer finishes, by John Cochrane, arguing for a high finish gate and no rolling finishes to reduce accidents on and near the home airport. http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/john...20finishes.doc Regards, Luka Znidarsic, pilot in command during low final glide in this video! Another solution is also FES system: www.front-electric-sustainer.com |
