Nice sightseeing tour of Pavullo city during the traffic pattern. At the last competition day of the 1st e-glide contest it was very difficult to get back home to the airfield. The finish cylinder was big enough to stay out of the rain shower and still finish the task. With a lot of patience I managed to climb with thermals above the final glide path and also used the FES to gain some more meters. Unfortunately you are not allowed to use the FES in rain and there are no outlanding fields north of Pavullo.

This game graphics is mindblowingly realistic

Good day. I feel dumb now but at some point in the video, my mind was already made up that it was a game and I was looking for it's name in the description.
Yeah but it needs raytracing looks like a 7/10 for me
Me at 2:06 :
Nooo what are you doing?? going out of the landing track will decrease your score!!
Shadows are all wrong, short view distance, blurry textures. 5/10
This video is perfect! Beautiful scenery and weather, thrilling descent over buildings, smooth touchdown. And it isn't unnecessarily 20 minutes long.
S to the tefan Stefan here with another INTENSE landing situation in crazy weather. But first please like, subscribe, and comment for more. OK so just to set up the situation for you and what's going on today - i have been given an amazing opportunity (thanks to my sponsors OpenVario and Cloud Dancers, please check them out online links below) like I said an amazing opportunity to practice landings IN THE RAIN in this beautiful setting. I don't want to spoil what happens for you so let's just take a look.
Damn, this man is living his life.
No,he's flying his flight.
yea
@@BobbyTucker wew you right bro

@RESPECT MY AUTHORITY no body needs to know about your d. Keep in to yourself.
That's as smooth a landing as ive ever seen. Well done.
I noticed that too ... very smooth landing.
Very sophisticated soar plane. This is NOT this guy's first day in the air. Very light rain and a 3 knot head wind. Put that all together and the angst seems to drop all away.
@@63bplumb I mean, if it was his first time it would have been far more dramatic (perhaps even making the news due to a crash or miracle landing cuz trainer blacks out or sumn) so yeah. Still, my congratulations is similar to why people clap after the pilots of their planes touch down safely. It's always nice to see someone landing smoothly be it a total noob or the creator of all aircrafts XD.
Check out bruno Vassel's channel. He has one that is so smooth the only way you can tell he is down is you hear the wheel starting to spin. Its pretty cool. th-cam.com/video/TVfJwUCSueA/w-d-xo.html

surprising how responsive the controls are, looked like a dream to fly in what looked like pretty light winds
the silence of flight without engines is spooky.
Ofc

@@rocksparadox ikr! Smh
Am I crazy that I think that gliders would be so much safer than any type of small plane
Like if you really did the research on how to fly them properly I know if you do turns too tightly are probably other ways probably are other ways that it can become a very unsafe situation very quickly but as far as mechanical failure goes I feel like they would be much safer than old Cessna airplanes
Are old small airplanes that did not make enough power because of the climate or the weather of the day and maybe that is pilot are because they didn't take off properly but still obviously you still have to get a toe up there so you're still relying on a pilot to catch you out there but I hope my line of logic is not totally unreasonable
@@lurk7967 ~would~ they are, the main reason being their glide performance ratio, where most of these mid-high end gliders get from 1:30 to 1:60 glide ratio. (from 1km altitude I can glide 30km distance), when an engine dies in a C152 or C172, you are pretty much looking straight down or not very far ahead for a field to land on. Also as a glider pilot and GA pilot myself, I can tell you that there is nothing more soothing than a silent aircraft where the only thing you hear is wind.
Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 looks amazing
I think the above is running on an entry level rig
This is Msfs 2030
I thought it is real
Still cant run it over 40fps with a RTX 3090..
@@SwegGodMaster they still havent optimized it? i havent touched the game since the week of release because it was struggling to maintain above 40 on my 2070 S.
After watching this video a second time, i believe, I looked at it much differently, the way you circled the airstrip and bled off airspeed was mesmerizing, everything just came together like a fine symphony, tremendous piloting skills. Thank you once again for a great flight and landing.
In a storm no less. Very satisfying video.
That landing was so smooth it almost didn’t even look real...Great job!

This has re-ignited my interest. It's been 2 years since my last flight in a glider
...first Gliding video that I have watched.... last flight that I had in a glider was as an Air Cadet 1974/5 - ish!.. no fancy avionics to look at!
Haha
The raindrops looks like stars, beautiful.

the glide ratio on these aircraft is just mindblowing for me! what a beautiful craft...
Nice landing and views
Thank you!
😀 its even much better without rain !
I think the lift-to-drag ratio for a good glider is over 40.
@@bird271828 Standard for gliders is around 60
Well done but I almost got a heart attack seeing you so close over the city. That is nothing for commercial pilots. 😉
It looks scary - indeed. Bat also a very nice shot. Thinking about the flying qualities of the LS8 with wet wings and considering the gliders velocity, this was pretty save and smooth. A very nice approach. Unique. Well done :)
Exactly I felt the same...
Filming. Flying. Flute playing.
All at the same time.
Superb Skills.
they always put rain to improve the graphics
😂😂😂😂😂
Rain and water road and runway 😂😂😂
Definitely not for the faint hearted! I've wanted to try gliding for some time and watching this video has made me want to do it all the more!
I've not long started my PPL, I love being in the air but I can imagine gliding to be something else. I hope it will help me to become a better pilot. I can't wait to experience the sensation of feeling the winds meandering beneath the wings while navigating through the air waves. I'm so impressed by how seamlessly you flew the glider over the cityscape with such an effortless accuracy that was cool, calm and collected. In fact, I was impressed so much that I watched the video a few times. Superb!
As a powered plane pilot, the downwind and crosswind over the town had me backing up in my chair!
thx, being a non-pilot, I did not even notice any wind direction, that's how blind one is without flying experience
@@nkristianschmidt downwind and crosswind are terms used for alignment with a runway, they aren't any wind designations. I'm really surprised that the tower said "wind from the north" and not a specific direction, very unprofessional
@@fabioverissimo1033 Thanks
as non-pilot, i startet realising that his left turn was very close to the hill, which was very scary.
@@nkristianschmidt Down wind and crosswind imply the wind direction. You typically choose the runway so you are landing against the wind (up wind) which allows landing in the shortest distance and stops you without as much braking. To get to the place where you are flying upwind, you enter the rectangular traffic pattern on the downwind (opposite the landing direction). You fly that until you are past the end of the runway where you turn crosswind. Then when you are nearly lined up with the runway, you turn to "final" and descend to the runway.
This has been my childhood dream. When I was about 5 years old, I had a dream of me flying in a single person mini-plane. When I woke up I wished I had never woken up. Hopefully one day this dream will come true.
It's good to dream and that's ok.
Yeah all you need is... 50 thousand dollars.
Go get a trial lesson. Lots of clubs have them these days, it's not expensive and you get to make a couple of starts, and they'll let you handle the controls a bit as well. Well worth doing, even if it's just the one time. And pretty much anyone can learn.
You can if you want too. It is not expensive. I have just retired as a full time professional gliding instructor (in Scotland) over 5,000 hrs and 20,000 launches. I can provide details where to start. Just believe and live the dream.
Chris
get your pilot's license then buy an aircraft or build one. A kitfox kit is around $40,000 and takes maybe a year and a half to build. And there's cheaper ones out there, or you can rent
This is truly amazing, especially how the approach looked so close to those buildings.
...With no power on tap to get out of any sticky situations, that would make my butt pucker, lol
perfection. Waterdrops, green fields, steering, landing.
Never thought it would be so quiet inside that
@Goble gliders can be quite loud inside actually, from all the air/wind flowing all over the place
@@MrShadowmaster00 The much you can hear is the wind noise , is not annoying really more like very peaceful but if you open the window the noise become bigger!
Goble nice pfp

@@SteFly that's weird and stupidly. it must be allowed you can fly and you must turn back airport you depart.

@@SteFly I was wondering yesterday about the scientists on the ISS. Safest people!
This video is so mind blowing I barely blink I felt like a Co-pilot Do it again!!
oh man the glide performance is unvelibable for me. im used to paragliding and that perspective over the buildings makes me anxius. my brain is always calculating trayectory and going that low that far from landing is hard to watch.
sergio urquijo sounds like you’re a bit new.
@@RenTheOriginal i am jahahahah why?
Yeah! Same here. :D It's crazy low...
The difference between 1:7 and 1:40 ish, maybe more, is real, isn't it? (also PG)
I don’t fly but I thought the same exact thing.. scary low for approach.. I even lost the landing strip towards the end haha! Whew! Great landing for sure..
It's feels like he went for morning plane walk with casual cloths
I love watching/listening to true professionals at work!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Now that is the coolest shit I've seen in a long while!
The American everything beneath him is so beautiful!! So green!
you need to go outside
@@mr.pllesmvs1307 I know right! Lol.
The rain isn't the point but that circle, just missing that house, then touching down - what amazing skill!! This guy has been practicing....
I'm used to flying small engine craft that would sink more during those pattern turns - that low base turn over the city had me 😳 mainly because I couldn't reference your location with the runway until final approach. Well done 👍🏻
I dont think I would fly such a machine to he honest
It's just a different type of flight - lower approach speed and flaps = steeper rate of descent but they could also come in fast & shallow if need be - but could never compete with a glider's lift ratio. I've never flown a glider before but would love to try it out. I imagine the absence of engine noise would be nice. What exactly is the constant whirring sound, change in ascent/descent?
numbnerve I’ve only done it once, but it honestly just feels like you’re floating on the wind. It’s pretty calming once you get over the fact that you’re flying an aircraft with no engine lol. A powered plane takes you up with a line and then releases you once you’re in a good position. While they’re dragging you the ride is pretty bumpy, but immediately calms once you’re released. Once you’re up, you just glide around and enjoy the sights. The absence of noise definitely makes it a unique experience.
@@spidey19355 yeah I've watch quite a lot of TH-cam vids of glider pilots...it definitely looks awesome - I would just need to adapt to mother nature providing lift assistance instead of an engine lol
@@numbnerve I think the pitch of that noise indicates the rate of ascent or descent.
You have to be a better pilot than engine airplane pilot since you don’t have a second chance to abort a landing.
Never thought about that. But I enjoy gliders more than powered planes ;)
@@SteFly IT MUST BE AMAZING NO SOUND IS A MORE PERSONAL FEEL
@@SteFly haha you thought you could make a go around in a glider?
I'm a pilot for engine airplanes and I just can approve. If don't have everything together on final, we just go around but those guys... Hats down :)
Just like space brick, ehm... space shuttle!
Guessing height and distance to turn and land without engines must be an art.....when you were turning away from runway i thought if you had enough height to get back...great vid
You learn the landmarks, and what direction and speed you should have at each. Then if you're going too fast or too slow at one landmark, you know how to adjust for the next one. Somebody had to be the first to figure those out though.
The rain drops gave me a star wars hyperdrive feel, lovely landing btw.
I can't stop myself watching this in 4K again and again.
The rain makes it look like he’s racing through space.
Despite the fact no one knows what looks like to race in space.
Yes space has a lot of fucking clouds
Securitor Gaming Yeah it also has grass and buildings
幻想的だね
Taha Alci Thanks
The raindrops sliding across the cockpit are beautiful.
Touchdown so smooth, the only notification was the sound of the wheels going to work.
I thought he gonna land on someones roof . 😁
me too, i was like " hold on, where is the runway? dude what are you doing?"
Right in the kitchen, just in time for dinner🤪
no he has speed, he was going low for whatever reason making it look like he was really close to crashing. When in reality he has big margin for error since if he pulls he will gain alitude quickly.
@@stt.9433 He had not to much speed to go up again and keep the speed up, it's a glider, this things have not engine, they have to fly with hot air pressure winds that's the noose you can hear at the beginning its a barometer and literally say you when the plane can go up or not!
Was für ein Anflug! Nervenkitzel vorprogrammiert 👍🙈😊
That landing is just so smooth.
I watch a lot of gliders on TH-cam......best landing I have ever seen
Perhaps you like this 360 degrees camera vid. You can move the camera yourself: th-cam.com/video/ZXco9gGf2iw/w-d-xo.html

The rain on his windshield makes it look like he’s going into hyperspace
At first I thought those are birds! 😂🤣
@@frostbridge3313 I taught Bird SHIT! Hahaha K I noe no how It wasn't that all

Gliders are amazing. They don’t even want to come back to Earth!
Warning: Objects in recording are closer than they appear.
I havent done gliding in 20 years. I am amazed they now have glass cockpits and HOTAS.
Certainly different to the K13 (or ASK-13) glider that I learnt in!

This was amazing! Also feels like the flying car scenes from Blade Runner.
Wow that was mind blowing, not sure I’ve ever seen a glider landing THAT smooth
You can’t even tell if it’s a game or real life anymore, awesome graphics definitely getting this game
Excellent camera angle and the quality of camera is superb to capture the landing in the best way. High level of skill shown in landing on the center line.
Holy crap, really glad this popped up on my feed. First glider video ever and it was awesome.
The rain makes it look like he's travelling at warp speed!
Nailed that approach. Way to go brother!
Air Traffic Controller: Glider, the pattern is full, circle around and try again
Glider: It don't work that way!
Battery empty 😂😂😂
In real life balloons, then gliders have priority over powered aircraft.
“We’re in the pipe, five by five”
Oh I go full screen now. That performance would deserve.
Can’t resist replaying this 👍🏻
now that was the smoothest landing i have ever seen 😱
watching these videos stoned is amazing, i'm actually amazed right now....
Same here...watching this shit stoned af
Agree
That base leg had me scared already, then you turned final and my heart was stopping
I can’t do a glider because of my fear of not having power, however, I can consider sitting 🪑 on a similar cockpit powered by 3 or 4 rotors😎👍.

0:01 Lol I thought that was the pilot screaming because he was so excited
In case you don't know that it is,it's the e-vario, it tells the pilot wether or not he's climbing or descending, often has 2 modes, in one it only sounds when the plane is gliding and in the other it sounds for not climbing and descending
oooooOooooo
Such an impressive landing. Thank you for sharing.
It fly like a space ship in movie😍
I keep coming back to this video because it's relaxing AF

Looks like it was raining... right up until you touched down. That was very courteous of it!
1:14 "...sono a 7 km..."
"congratulazioni lo stesso" xD
2:06 just casually rolls off the landing strip into the grass lol
it's a glider
They don't have propulsion so otherwise to get it off the runway you'd need to get out and push it from behind as other planes are passing by your ass.
