I can't handle the abuse from Farmers anymore (in the UK). Maybe its just that I choose the fields managed by an ultra aggressive farm manager each time demanding compo and asking WFT did I think I was doing by landing.The last time the police were called after another pilot seeing me down OK decided to land as well in the same field at is must be safe...... The result of course is that I end up thermally desperately at 200ft trying at all costs to avoid another field landing and yet another confrontation - all of which is not very safe. Alternatively I simply do not go cross country flights anymore - sad but there it is.
@@M9dq76 Oh honey this is not at all sad. I am glad you have some anxieties about this. Emergency landing is somthing else, happens sometimes, completely fine. But if you are doing this for recreation (why else glide) and find yourself landing in peoples farms a little too often, then maybe don't glide. How do you expect people to be accomodating exactly when you are messing up their livelihood? You can't handle the abuse!?. Essentially you are messing with their hard efforts, resources, causing them lots of trouble and for what? For your little hobby. And you are so entitled that you are the one that can't handle the abuse? Should they be happy and be supportive of your little fun of gliding when they pay the price with their sweat and resources? Also consider that it is not just you. If the field looks safe to you, it looks safe to other gliders taking off from the same airport. You are likely, not the first in their farm. So don't be so entitled. Next time you land on sombodies farm, do all the work that was required for the crop you have rendered unusable. I think that should give you some real anxieties about landing in a farm.
@veryslyfox We usually carry the parts out. Most of us also don't have $75,000 sailplanes anyways. They typically cost about 5,000 to 15,000. There are some that cost that much though.
@veryslyfox why not go for $10000 if you think you can charge anything? Police would sort you out real quick if you think you can demand ransom because their vehicle is on your property. Also, I'm sure you have NEVER parked your car on someone's property without their knowledge. You're just being an asshole honestly
@@SteFly Thanks Stefan. In the UK, it's often difficult to determine who owns a particular field I want to camp in, but I guess a large glider landing would attract more attention than a cycle camper 😄
I've landed in about 50 farmer fields in New Zealand, and never once have I had to pay for crop damage. Usually I land on grass, but been in a few small crops. You would have to destroy quite a lot for them to care about it! Usually getting the trailer in will do more damage than the gilder landing. Usually there is someone on farm, often a farm worker, and I ask them who the owner is, then ring them and ask for permission to retrieve the glider. That keeps them happy!
@@PureGlide I've landed in a field last weekend due the fact that the Turbo of the Duo discus malfunctioned and didn't want to retract, Once in the field the son of the farmer started to spit over the plane, and stamped on the wing twice which thank god didn't cause any damage other then the destroyed mylar after inspection... The parents of the child cared more about their 10 plants that got ruined by the landing (worth $3,40), I had to pay $50 in order to get the trailer on the field, while I didn't even knew that I had no damage on the Duo.. Police kind off sorted it, but still terrible experience.
@@theflano23 Already have. The scene where they're looking at the airfield (If you know, you know) I was cheering so loud when I realized what was about to happen. Like a kid on Christmas morning.
Looking forward to the AS 33 ME and solid-state batteries. Soon we will see solar embedded panels in the wings and distances capable of some very long runs without the need for a tug or a winch. That’s what I’m waiting for. Nice video Stefan.
The minimum wingloading of the AS33 ME quite heavy. But of course I would like to fly it and give it a try. A funny side note: I already picked up an Antares electric glider from a muddy field because the motor broke (mechanical issue). It´s horrible to derig the heavy wings and get them out of the field.
@@JSMEsq no, it can soar. Planes need power all the time to stay up. With the ME potentially you can soar and go very large distances. With solar, even further. There’s a custom built solar glider out there and it can go for a thousand KM or more. Plus, a club could get a two seater and remove all the costs of winches and tugs.
Once i was invited to a Party at another Airfield 50 km away, and because i wasn’t allowed to drive, so i took the ventus from my club with a sleepingbag. it was a really cool experience, but unfortunately i sprained my ankle that evening, so the morning after a Dimona came with two of my friends, including second pilot who was supposed to fly the glider home, and i would take the right seat in the engine plane. But unfortunately the pilot wasn’t able to stay up, so he landet in a field 5 km from the airfield he startet, so we had to drive there anyway… But it was a very fun experience, 9,5/10 would do it again. But the next time without the ankle incident, that hurtled a lot…
Must have been a great experience. I have heard parties at this airfield are the best parties in history of airfield parties, maybe ever. Greetings from the airfield, that shall not be named 😉
every time a vehicle driver was tired, a plane will just hook up its rope to the glider. once the glider’s speed is fast enough in the air, you have to pull the cable release latch which is the orange latch.
Every glider has its own trailer where it fits in nicely. The glider pilot calls a friend/ someone from the airfield to bring the trailer and come pick everything up.
how is a glider a good situation i wonder? you would think its maybe cheaper or easier to learn or something like that, but when you think more on it, it seems the opposite. like you have to bother another plane for a tow, so that seems like added dangers and cost for not much benefit? id love to hear from a glider pilot tho! i would hate having to rely on someone else for the tow everytime, and it seems like you might actually have to learn 'more' on the contrary since you cant just recover from any mistake with propulsion. thanks for the vid, its a stunning view
Every minute of flying in a engine plane costs money because of burned fuel. A glider only needs the tow plane for 5 minutes and then you can fly for a long time on your own without rising cost. So the longer you fly the more it saves you could say. There's also the option to launch via winch. Then a cable is driven out over the length of the runway, glider attached on one end, and on the other a winch that pulls the cable with 100km/h. Then only the glider gets pulled into the air, so this costs even less fuel. (Though with tow planes you can be towed to rising air, so you'l have more chance of staying in the air for longer. Sometimes after a winch launch you can't find rising air before getting so low you have to land back at the airfield and try again)
How many hours did it take for full? And why did you keep stopping? Asking because I am aspiring become a gliding pilot, but as I am in a different location. Trying to understand and prepare lol if anything medically (eg motion sickness) should be considered
Yes, I still have a lot of footage from Sweden and will make some videos about it. 2nd & 3rd competition day + my first lesson of cloud flying as a student 👍
Put a strap on motor on it man lol. I've been flying commercially for 26 years always stayed away from gliders. Having no motor would give me the anxieties
I know a little bit about planes but nothing about gliders, so correct me if im wrong, but is the blue stick on the left flaps? ( i saw a flaps sticker behind it so im assuming it is)
It's actually pretty common and normally not a big deal, neither for the pilot nor for the owner. Since gliding is highly weather dependent, "outlandings" happen on a regular basis and you even train for it during your training for the licence. The damage to the field is normally very limited, since the breaking distance on such a rough surface is pretty short. About the legal question: It's obviously not forbidden to land your glider on a field (if necessary, not on purpose!!), since you have no other choice when running out of proper thermals/lift and insurance covers any property damage.
@@Askejm I mean I guess. But like. It's not like it's your fault, nor are you targeting them for intentional disruption of their property. Seems dumb to me that people would be that pissed by the once in a lifetime occurrence of a pilot making an emergency landing in their empty field. That's just being crotchety.
@@Varue sure, I was wondering as well. If it would be happening everyweek then that could be a disturbance and loss for the farmer but I guess if its a once in a life thing its more of a thing to remember and tell your friends about
As a pilot (SEP) I am little confused. Can you just land with a glider. I mean, of course you can if it is emergency, but does that count as emergency ?
If you can't reach an airfield or climb anymore you will hit the ground somewhere. There's nothing you can do about it then. Better find a place where you can hit the ground (land) without dying.
Hi there, I know absolutely nothing about gliders so I was wondering if anyone could explain what the different beeps indicate, and how the pilot would use them.
I am not sure myself but i think it measures the energy of the air currents and a high pitch indicates that there is a lot of upward streams so that one can gain altitude. you can see and hear it at 1:24.
Variometer, also known as a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI). It beeps when you go up and drones when you go down. The rate at which you altitude changes determines the frequency and rate of the beeping. There are many variations of this instrument and some are programmable to suit personal preferences. As long as it is beeping you're going up. Sink Alarms are not nice to hear. It basically means you are losing altitude quickly and if you want to keep flying find some lift... quickly.
If a farmer ever tells you "Everything is fine with the plants. No harm done"... just know he's lying to you. You definitely killed some of his plants. He just doesn't want the headache of assessing how much damage you caused. Otherwise, if you're looking for a smooth field to land in... aim for soybeans or wheat!
I've only stumbled across gliding in the last few weeks, but it seems to me the only proper way to do it is to have back up electric motor,for take off and also to plan your journey properly to avoid this. Motors and batteries involved don't appear to be that expensive.Anyone got any experience with retro fitting one.
As a farmer/rancher and a sailplane and single engine pilot I had to chime in. First of. Landing in a plowed/fresh seeded and starting to grow field is the worst place to plop your plane down. If this would be me field, it would cost you a lot. Is not the damage of the landing but getting the plane out of the field. As a pilot I stay away from anything brown because I do not know how solid the ground is. Who wants cary the plane out of a soft field wearing rubber boots?
When I made my license, I learned to avoid meadows because sometimes there are bumps and ditchis in the field. From above you can´t see them in detail. A planted field is more even and at the end some scratches on the fuselage are no big deal - however a substantially damaged glider is. I usually try to avoid landing on such a field aswell but at the end I want to make a safe landing without hurting myself and without a damaged glider.
Well I'll disagree K.Gebert , being in the same position as a farmer and pilot. I guess you are one of those miserable farmers I have heard about, but not had the displeasure to meet. Of the landing choices available that was by far the most safest and sensible decision. That was freshly seeded and tilled field quite clear to see, a recently ploughed field is usually darker brown and easy to spot, so absolutely no issue and very little real damage will be done to the crop at that stage of its growth.
@@firstbloood1 All glider pilots carry insurance...damage, if any, is usually minimal. We all receive appropriate training in out-landings and field selection. In 40 years and several hundred field landings in approxiately 20 diifferent countries, I have yet to meet an 'angry farmer' - quite the contrary, often get invited to dinner, help in derigging the glider, etc, etc, - but I suppose their are miserable c++ts everywhere, much like yourself. I know of just a handful of cases in 40 years where fellow pilots have had that displeasure.. just haven't been unlucky to have it myself yet. I guess you lack a sense of humour and understanding of things that may be said in jest. ps I'm a farmer too, but really there aren't thousands of gliders dropping out of the sky every minute, so there's very little to worry about. Are you a journalist or in need of medication? -you seem to over-sensationalise things............ CALM DOWN DEAR.....
@@firstbloood1 you pay for the damage done if any and that's it, no big deal. some miserable farmers just want to ruin someone's else day but it won't change the fact he's a cuckhold.

When you do an outlanding, how do you find the farmer, and how do you decide how much compensation for damaged crops?
Usually the farmer finds you because he will get informed by others. If there is a big damage, I would suggest to call the police.

how do you get glider off that farm? there is like transport company or smoething?

Come pick it up with your trailer, the wings detach and it all fits in a trailer.
Every glider has its own trailer where it fits in nicely. The glider pilot calls a friend/ someone from the airfield to bring the trailer and come pick everything up.
Love it
Now this is the way to arrive to a party😊
After an out landing, how do you get the plane back to an airfield? You cant just take off after all
The wings and elevator can be detatched and then the glider can be stored in a long trailer. So it's transported back to an airfield by car
1:44 sounds like music

That was freshly seeded and tilled field quite clear to see, a recently ploughed field is usually darker brown and easy to spot, so absolutely no issue and very little real damage will be done to the crop at that stage of its growth.
@@firstbloood1 All glider pilots carry insurance...damage, if any, is usually minimal. We all receive appropriate training in out-landings and field selection. In 40 years and several hundred field landings in approxiately 20 diifferent countries, I have yet to meet an 'angry farmer' - quite the contrary, often get invited to dinner, help in derigging the glider, etc, etc, - but I suppose their are miserable c++ts everywhere, much like yourself. I know of just a handful of cases in 40 years where fellow pilots have had that displeasure.. just haven't been unlucky to have it myself yet. I guess you lack a sense of humour and understanding of things that may be said in jest. ps I'm a farmer too, but really there aren't thousands of gliders dropping out of the sky every minute, so there's very little to worry about. Are you a journalist or in need of medication? -you seem to over-sensationalise things............ CALM DOWN DEAR.....
klaus, you must have had a miserable life with no friends or family.
@@firstbloood1 you pay for the damage done if any and that's it, no big deal. some miserable farmers just want to ruin someone's else day but it won't change the fact he's a cuckhold.
