Glider landing in thunder and lightning I experienced lightning and thunder on the last part of the flight. I sounded pretty scared because it was definitely a wild experience for me.⚡

First flight in my newly renovated LS1-f. Bought this LS1-f in Finland last year and then got it to Denmark. With a number of challenges, it is now ready for season 2023. Looking forward to a good season. Instagram: oliverkirial

Instagram: oliverkirial 5th and last checkout on aerotow last summer, so now I have the permission for both winch launch and aerotow. I am looking forward to the next season and it's starting soon. I know i forgot to pull 3 times in the release cable.

Have means to say there could be a better choice but to choose passing so closr to those trees was not a good idea...
Firstly, well done. It's a bit nerve-wracking and the internet is full of people who will tell you where you went wrong. You might consider, once you've told your base that you're landing out, turning the radio off or the volume right down, to prevent any distraction. Even on a smooth field, stopping quickly is a good idea, just to avoid the rabbit hole that you didn't realise was there. Lastly, well done.
Looks like a fantastic cloud street ahead Oliver, did you manage to get up there?
Managed to get up there and fly for some time on the task, before the weather got difficult and i ended up making an outlanding.
@@oliverkirial that's not nice but it is good for your overall experience. More days of competition flying to follow, I am sure.Greetings from the Netherlands.
Why don't you make a right turn up after the release? This is a standard procedure for us in Germany.
Normaly the glider turns to the left in Denmark. This was a special competition rule. "Fly straight ahead, and the tow plane will fly towards to airfield".
Interesting! We in the US also turn right after the release. I also noticed that you had the air brakes up for about half of the ground roll we, of course, in the US keep them closed during the launch.
@@jhmcglynn My LS1-f does not have a nose hook, so i use my CG hook for aerotows. This can sometimes give some problems when the rope is tightened in the first part of the aerotow. The wheelbreak on the ls1-f is in the airbrake so i have them open to put pressure on the break, so im sure i dont run over the rope in the start. If that happens the hook will let go of the rope. The day before i dident use the airbrake and this happened. But this is not a problem with gliders with nose hook.
why you are so dangeling onm the stick..its a glider not a 747
That looks terrifying but so cool! I hope I can fly a plane one day.
Du flyver pise godt❤❤
How long was this flight? Looks so fun!
Around 5 hours
Wow, what do you do if you need the toilet 😅@@oliverkirial
@@locktab3815 This video shows it: th-cam.com/video/kTFGF3ZYL-Y/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=StefanLanger At 0:48
very clever haha@@oliverkirial
That field is better quality than my airport
I find the serviceability of the side pockets in a lot of gliders is appalling. It’s a wonder this doesn’t happen more.
Amazingly cool thanks for sharing!
Why didn't you avoid flying through the rain? There was better weather elsewhere.
A pilot in Colorado recently died due to thunderstorm related 50 knot tailwind gust during landing turn to final. The possibility of tailwind gust justifies your very high speed during approach. If you have the runway length available, maybe it makes sense to land as fast as possible. A lightening strike of a composite glider would be destructive. Gliders are not Faraday Cages as are metal or IFR-rated airplane. I hope to never see this happen in a TH-cam video. Another pilot in Colorado landed off airport to escape a thunderstorm, but died because he hit a fence post.
Is the rain seriusly getting inside the cockpit?
usually no
Well, that was certainly a high speed approach :)
Am I the only one wondering why you would need a calculator during your flight ?
not 100%sure. But as you dont have an engine in a glider you need to calculate if you make it to your destination. Glide ratio, Air/Ground-speed and altitude is a thing. And a calculator is helpful in that regard You can see airplanes or in particular glider like a battery. You always trade speed for altitude and versa with the exception that you still have drag/weight and contently lose energy (Speed/altitude)
impressive !!!!
That’s calculated risk!
If the "kmh" actually does mean "kilometers per hour" I find that rather hard to believe. That is 132 miles per hour on final. Maybe kmh means something else.
what else could it mean...
its airspeed, not ground speed...
Yes its kph and it true. I flew with 220 kph. And this glider was a G-102 Astir with can fly up to 250 kph.
I had a similar experience in a roll once when a roll of wingtape came floating... despite the usual no lose objects checks.
dont fly that fast in rain, the sealings and tapes on the glider are damaged if you do.
wait what?
Why is ballast a thing?
To fly faster without flying less efficiently. The disadvantage, however, is that you have to carry the extra weight with you in the thermals.
You were cruising. Not sure if the airspeed indicator is kph, mph or knots but you hit 235, well past Vno (clean air speed). Glad you didn’t hit any gusts!
Is 235 km/h
V/Max is 250 KM/h , but you are right here, under these conditions it`s very risky!
@@susannedohmann797 Yeah yeah👍
The rough air speed of the LS1F is 250 kph so i was within the limits!
Cockpit hygiene 😉,that calculator could have fallen and jammed a control such as the stick.
Thanks for stating the obvious
@@markcourtney7251 It's obviously not "the obvious" because if it was this would not have happened.
That would be really, really unlikely
@@ascherlafayette8572ut one day the holes in the cheese will line up so why tempt fate in the first place? Like the fatal crash of a Chinook helicopter when the co-pilot dropped an iPad which jammed the flight contols th-cam.com/video/P0N15ihORHA/w-d-xo.html
I've been caught out in much worse weather than that.
Astir when V > 150:📉📉📉
Nice job, like the final grip on the stick!
Which you have to pull back on after landing to avoid being caught by the weathercock effect. Especially in windy conditions.
Did you pull your airbrakes at 200 kph?
You landed at very high speed, was it to handle possible wind shear (which may be possible in such conditions)? I had a similar experience two days ago.
Wet wings increase the stall speed. Increase speed to avoid stall/spin/crash in these circumstances.
During such violent weather there is a lot of turbulence and wind shear, and there it is important to keep the speed high. I flew very fast to avoid a stall but also to get down quickly as the weather turned very bad very quickly. The plane was not meant to land at such a high speed and actually bounces back up. You can also hear that I was a little surprised myself. But because of the water on the window, I had difficulty judging how far down I was in relation to the ground.
Plenty of speed👌
I think that such a high speed was not necessary and even made the approach a bit more dangerous (because of the higher probability of bouncing off, especially with the more severe turbulence, etc.) than it should be. Nevertheless, it is important to have a higher airspeed in such conditions (as already written above, because of stall speed, turbulence, ...) than in calm conditions. However, 160-170 km/h is clearly not necessary. But if you aren´t experienced in such conditions yet, then you might exaggerate, that´s totally understandable
@@oliverkirial The problem is you are in a Catch 22 situation you need speed because of water on wings and possible wind shear but you also need to be aware of the Max Rough Air speed so as not to over stress the glider
NICE LANDING
Whew. When you land off airport, how do you get the craft back home? Also, if you land off field, and destroy crops, how does that work? Who pays the farmer?
So we have a special glider trailer with is easy to put the glider in to. If we land in a field and destroy anything, then we have insurance for that part.
That's what I call a long landing.
In a glider it’s better to be a little too fast than a little too slow.
" a little "
it's like being in star wars, at light speed
Excellent Video, keep up the great work! 😀
I started to say there should have been some lift under those clouds and then I noticed how low they were. Good job. I was always very conservative and never landed out so I didn't build the confidence needed to fly cross country effectively. I did keep however "Wind, Wires and Slope" in my head when between airfields.
Nice vid, but some original audio would be nicer...
While I haven't flown the LS1, I would venture that you are "stirring the pot" too much: there is no need to be moving the stick so fast all the time. It also looks like you need to work a bit on making coordinated turns. And finally, it seems to me that you got to the ground a bit too fast. In any case, congrats on a successful first outlanding!
Working under pressure adds to the confusion.
HVAD ER DET FOR EN TRAILER UDEN EKSPLOTIONER?
Namibia: „we have the best conditions for gliding.“ Denmark: „hold my øl…“
Hey, that's at least 1m of clearance! You sissy! You must be able to find a thighter spot! Think of all the time you've got to prepare! Don't go go the open ground, that is for cowards only!
Hey Oliver, great Video! I own myself and LS1-f and I am rebuilding it. I have a few questions about it. Would you mind giving me your email, so i can contact you? Kind regards
Lets go fam!
That went well! I was slightly worried about those trees to the left of the landing spot though.
Flot video. 💪
Mega god video! Glæder mig til at se flere fra den nye flyver;D
