Stretching the Final Glide
If you read the title at the beginning of the video it says EGC (as in
European Gliding Championships) 2005 in Nitra (Slovakia). This is a competition finish at a major gliding competition, there won't be any student pilots on solo nor will there be "normal" patterns (especially not at 1000 feet) when it starts raining gliders coming home from the task at the end of the day... The final got a bit marginal but he elected for a rolling finish after going into ground effect on the last few 100 meters, again a valid procedure for experienced pilots at a competition like this, I have seen a lot worse... No spectators, cars etc in the way either like there have been at plenty other competitions... Markus |
