pls don't tell me what to do
This is mandatory procedure for all aircraft when intercepted by a fighterjet. Pull over, stop your engine, open window, hands on control column.
You always need your license and registration on you in case the fighter pilot asks! And be sure to pull it out and give it non-aggresively.
I can still remember when I was a little kid and wondered how border controls up in the air would work xD I imagined generic toll both style buildings, but on huge pillars or something. Oh a child's imagination...

10k ft you don't need to worry as there is more than enough room to recover from a stall if airspeed was to drop, you should would be totally worried if this was to happen like 1000ft to 50ft from the ground...

Oxygen - Another pilot is in the back seat flying. He’s on oxygen and is pilot in command. I as then am a passenger I am required to have it available to me at 15,000’ and above but am not required to use it. Within these rules I simply took off the funny big plastic mustache cannula to talk on video. Thx for the comments!
I figured that.
The requirement of oxygen at 15kft is pretty high. Some people get headache from being above 8000ft. (After the relatively quick ascend in a glider)
Also i think you can enjoy your flight a lot more, if your brain isn‘t on a CO2 trip but an O2... 😂
@@michaelderflinger5002 I believe the rules for passenger is just made available. For pilots it’s 14k (still high tho), and longer than 30min above 12.5k. Personally my Mountain High oxygen system can be set to kick in at a few preset altitudes and I just keep it set at 10k
very cool! very fun!
Plus you saved oxygen. You can always start using it if you feel lightheaded.

I've heard this happening to paragliders and they call it "para-parked" lol
that's hilarious 😂
And hang gliders. I once got in to a 28 kts headwind and spent a good 20 mins just playing with it hovering sideways across a lake. Must have looked trippy as hell from the ground, especially as one of the gusts coming in for landing meant was actually flying backwards when i touched down. Made me really appreciate what helicopter pilots experience because it played all kinds of havoc with my centre of balance. Just didn't feel normal at all.
Haha. I haven't heard this term before, but I like it. I've done my fair share of para-waiting, when the winds aren't strong enough to sustain flight.
Dang, I gotta get back in the air.
Something similar happens when landing with a parachute on really hot days or hot tarmac, the heat radiating upwards and sustain your hover or even keep you up for minutes longer than normal. You mostly get this effect with the old school military line chutes.
Aussie hang gliders like to go Dune Gooning (sp?) on the air waves off the sand dunes. looks awesome

was thinking this
I was VFR in a small piston aircraft (172RG) at 12,500 and we encountered a strong down draft that pushed us down to 9000 feet. The controller asked why I was descending (VFR flight following with Indi center). I was at max angle of climb right at stall speed and the airplane was still descending.

@@randomplayer6461 While true, those things are very often connected. Pure ping issues with no packet loss just means you're far from the host but a lot of the time bad ping results from poor internet more generally which can bring packet loss with it.

Imagine there's also couple of gliders around Him and Basically It looks like a Traffic Jam for Planes.
I once had a paraglider flight where I landed in the exact same place where I took off, and with the same trajectory, but in reverse. Winds at the coast were smooth and strong enough to keep me parked in the air like this, and when I added some brakes I inched backwards and downward, right to where I had started. To prove it wasn't a fluke I took off and did the same thing again. One of my best days ever.

Groundspeed zero videos are always amazing to see. In mountainous areas you come across wind speeds such as 40-50 so with glider or a single engine you can achieve gs zero easily

An old friend had this dream of his to do just this but slow his speed just a little so he would go backwards over our small town and sure. One day the winds hit the mountain just right and he did it. Flying like 5km/h backwards (and maybe hiting +.2 on the vario or so) it was epic!
Yes, it's possible with a strong headwind and slow flight configuration on a light aircraft. I did it once ages ago.
I did it once too, ages ago - practising stalls in a C172; must have been a strong headwind - just before the stall I looked out the window and noticed a farmhouse below was moving forwards not backwards relative to me. Weird feeling.

My friend, your glider has become a Geo-stationary satellite. Now, you can beam wifi at a very low cost the the village down because you paid only 50 dollars to place this satellite, while others pay like 10's of millions for it.
i was an air cadet when I was a teenager and I had the chance to fly a Viking T1..but to be honest Ive always been terrified of heights and I didn't show up for the weekend flight training.You look so calm and at peace in that cockpit and Im sure the views are breath taking, I'm going to subscribe and see what else ya can show us from up there :)
Think of it that way: You'll always come down eventually and you have something to break and control your descent.
I have done that in a Cessna 150. Years ago I was flying at the Great Falls International Airport. They had a two mile long runway that I really didn't need that day. They had a very strong wind coming straight down the centerline. With full flaps and partial power, I was just hovering above the numbers, stationary. I had to increase power and lower the nose to get the plane to come down and touch the runway. The tower complimented me on a "nice shortfield landing". LOL

@@saints360row My thoughts are, what about the big wing the kid has, an Apache doesn't have wings, But mom could be a Osprey, but this still confuses me, if the poor kid has no engine, the only thing he has is a battery, right? That could be a heart and the avionics are the brain, but still he doesn't consume or digest anything. Don't get me wrong, we all love your child no matter what. Maybe you should be4 honest with him, since he can "fly" he isn't a baby, right?

A blind passenger wouldn't know they'd stopped since they'd only feel airspeed which is a lot more than 0.

Imagine being a bird, or a wyvern, or a winged posthuman, or some other sapient critter that can naturally fly with only their body, finding an air current like this and just... chilling on it. Taking it all in, maybe taking a nap. King of the sky, insusceptible to the pointless struggles of the groundbound.
I've seen a few videos of birds doing that for real. must feel so zen
This is actually how the majority of migratory birds fly long distances. They don't have nearly enough stamina to flap their wings all the way so they find upstream, climb to higher altitudes with it and just glide to the next upstream.

Yes, and we land going backwards-- slowly ---sometimes when slope gliding. Just watch out for the rotor, it can screw you into the ground. I have gotten stuck in a wave over a mountain range, that is what Brent is doing.
@@maebnus46 Yep, I don't blame the rotor, but Have broken one or two gliders by flying too low, not far back from the edge! You can fly up and over a rotor, if there is room and land though. Easy for a model flyer to say though! 😉

That's got to be a wonderful feeling, just hovering by the wind alone.
So weird that my ears popped as soon as he mentioned the altitude.
Reminds me of a family of eagles I saw a week ago, they were looking for preys and were using the wind to stay stationary ( well, as stationary as possible for a bird ). It was pretty cool to watch them hovering like that hehe.

That’d be hilarious if you asked ATC for a ground speed readout so the entire area would know y’all are literally floating
In military parachuting practice jumps (not training jumps), hitting a hot updraft was awesome & feel like you're just stuck 700 feet in the air. It wears off fast but seems like forever.
For any environmental science nerds, this is a perfect example of orthographic lifting. This effect is usually much less extreme but it causes a lot of the atmospheric flow for the planet
