A friend sent me this link to an excellent article by Patty Wagstaff. It's about airplanes but the same principles apply to soaring safety. It's worth a careful reading. http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/prof...ning/risk-mana... Let me try to put it in soaring terms. *Feel free to add or change them. 1. Be trained for flying and remain within the limits of your training. (Over train, under fly.) 2. Maintain a continuous monitoring safe altitudes and airspeed operating limits. 3. Keep at least two known-safe landing areas within one-half your gliding range to guarantee a safe landing. 4. Remain within the safest possible operating limits for your type of glider and equipment. 5. Make sure to leave yourself an out. That is pretty good for a man who believes that gliders should pull straight up into a 60 degree climb off the deck without a safety climb when winch launching! |
