the best video ever made about landing fields, we recomend these material to all the new pilot who wants to flight croos country . thanks a lot!!!

This is fantastic info! A higher resolution would be much appreciated.

16:20 The narrator says add 10kts for every degree of upslope. This sounds like too much. The slope shown in the picture appears to be about 10 degrees, so in this case you'd add 100kts?

Good video with a lot of good information. A nit pick point. I haven't done a field landing but animals in a field would be a bit scary. Not sure that cows would damage your glider (assuming you didn't hit one) after about the first 10 minutes of investigation. Since the farmer comes out with a feed truck anything that resembles a vehicle with feed they want to check out. I pasture land could be hit or miss landing areas since usually this is generally poor soil/land (rocky, hilly, bunny/gopher holes etc).

The "no-no" for sloped fields is interesting, up-slope fields provide great stopping distances. If I understand this correctly, the lesson is that the field viewed at 14:00 is unsuitable, which is madness, barring obstacles, you can start center and land safely both directions, or even downslope as the slope change is very rounded. In Norway, we rarely have such a thing as a flat field, up-slope on fields steep enough for the glider to roll backwards down it after landing is the norm for several of our clubs.

Our Landing fields are precisely 250x50m.

The video is very informative but it should have had a professional narrator, editor and scriptwriter. There's too much waffle and it's difficult to keep your attention focused.

Nice video! i showed this video to my glider instructor and he thinks its very good!

What a pity. Ruined by being very squashed vertically. I hope all your memorial videos dont suffer this crippling defect.

Very nice girls. Welcome to France.

Very nice girls. Welcome to France.

Welcome to France, i like British people :D

Me like British people in the south of France :)

Wonderful video, really helped me prepare for my XC endorsement. Thanks!

Looks like a useful resource, but it would be helpful if the aspect ratio of the video was fixed - currently looks squashed. voices.yahoo.com/how-quickly-change-aspect-ratio-youtube-10539237.html

Many thanks.

Thanks allot for this. It helps the powered community too :)

Absolute pleasure!

Thank you so much for this great stuff!!!

Actually a search on 'field landings a training video' works best.

Yes, the chapters are all available in HD. Just do a search on 'Field Landings' Because of the size of the entire video in HD, were are unable to upload it to TH-cam in one go.

Very thorough field landing presentation. The definition is poor on TH-cam. Is it in higher definition/clarity by another method of viewing?

Oh no: your weather is better than ours, I assure you. I think that there's tremendous scope for the gliding movement to share best practice from around the world: I've been trying to encourage this via the International Gliding Commission, but their home countries don't put a priority on it. All of us are smarter than any of us. Enjoy your season: we've just had the shortest day, so are looking forwards now.

Absolute pleasure! The weather is not much better in Europe at the moment. Let's all hope for better soon...

Thank you for creating and sharing this: New Zealand pilots will have plenty of time to watch it (to the sound of winter's rain outside). I've already shared the link.

Many thanks from the team.

This is a really excellent bit of work. Well done Guys! It should be mandatory viewing for EVERY cross country pilot.

Very good lecture! I appreciate that. I already recommended it to members of my club. Cheers.
