this instructor is very good. Nice relaxed tone, clear and concise explanations, good skills break downs, positive reinforcement and letting the student do the flying.
Your area looks amazing for learning to glide - lots of flat area to safely land but still some hills for upwind. And some water mixed in for beautiful scenery. :) You did upload this in March, did you also fly in March? (Could be, very warm clothes, flat sun,...)
1:52 The Flarm knows where it is. It knows that, by subtracting, where it is, from where it isnt. If it is, where it isn't but is, where it isnt is, it can deduct where it isnt, from where it isnt is. Or so. :)))
This contains numerous mistakes. Here's mine. The flarm knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is - whichever is greater - it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviation to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position that it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is is now the position that it wasn't, and if follows that the position that it was is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation. The variation being the difference between where the flarm is and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the flarm must also know where it was. The flarm guidance computer scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information that the flarm has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it know where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice versa. And by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
Those were very good turns, indeed on first flight .. i had trouble with the horizion and allways decended aarfff .. hinton in hedges gliding club .... i will get there ... i just know it ... slight back pressure on stick needed , and yes next time ...lift and drag and aspect.. come on adrian i can do this ..good video will watch again x2 or 4 times thank you
@@flyingwithlaura3680 from what I was told, it was stalled at 30ft and suffered a very hard landing. The fuselage, I am told, was damaged beyond repair
Lov has been fully repaired and is back flying after it’s unfortunate landing incident. A low hours solo pilot got into a situation with pilot induced oscillation upon landing and ran out of energy causing a heavy landing. It did though what a ASK-21 is designed to do and that is protect the pilots when it doesn’t all go to plan.
Basic training and later cross country gliding is not as half as bad. Aerobatics (no matter if powered or in gliders is vomit inducing). As you can see here it is mostly fairly smooth. There are of course days where it is very choppy. But beware in powered airplanes you are hammering straight through thermals at higher speeds that bangs you around much worse. Do not believe such tales from obviously non glider pilots, but try it yourseff. Many clubs offer introduction courses for a couple of weeks to check out if it is for you or not with no further obligations when you decide to walk away after.
@@kaihorstmann2783 i did a couple of lessons in the glider but i couldnt keep up both gliding and powered aircraft so decided to concentrate on power for now, i may pick it up again but ill see lol

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing these videos.
Im starting my gliding journey this summer😎
that is awesome, looking forward to seeing your videos
I look forward to sharing them😊

Hiya I did fly in March , weather can be quite tricky
Great video, just about to start learning, so this is really useful 😊
@@spencegoddard8456 I’m glad you found it useful , good luck with your journey and look forward to seeing your videos
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing. I begin my sailplane adventure/life in May 2023. Enjoy every flight!!!!
Oh that’s awesome , you’ll love it , good luck with your adventures
I sure remeber those days when I started flying gliders. I ended it at 2005 because of poor economy back then but I live on the memorys. 🙂
why dont you pick it up again

Absolutely , like you said lol , thank you for your comment

The flarm knows where it is at all times.
It knows this because it knows where it isn't.
By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where
it isn't from where it is - whichever is greater - it
obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem
uses deviation to generate corrective commands to drive
the missile from a position where it is to a position
where it isn't, and arriving at a position that it wasn't,
it now is. Consequently, the position where it is is now
the position that it wasn't, and if follows that the
position that it was is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that the position that it
is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has
acquired a variation. The variation being the difference
between where the flarm is and where it wasn't. If
variation is considered to be a significant factor, it
too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the flarm
must also know where it was. The flarm guidance computer
scenario works as follows: Because a variation has
modified some of the information that the flarm has
obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it
is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it know where
it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it

I just started .. 4 lessons and I am hooked - so fun
keep it going, it really is fun and so rewarding when you land , best of luck with your lessons

@@adrianpeters2413 thank you very much , I struggled at first but then got the hang of it
I recognise that scenery. Loch Leven, Bishop Hill and Benarty Hill; it can only be Portmoak. I learned to fly gliders there in the late 1960s. 😀
Oh wow that’s awesome , have you stopped gliding ?
Is it hard to learn? I have been thinking of starting flying for a couple of years now…
@@karstenlund-tiger900bonded2 it can be challenging and daunting at first but your flying will get better the more confident you become
Which area is this? Looks beautiful
hiya, this is in Kinross, Perth Scotland
Unfortunately this very glider, G-CLOV was recently seriously damaged. No one seriously hurt though as far as I am aware
Oh no , what happened do you know ?

@@adampoultney8737 oh boy , hope everyone is ok , what made it stall at 30 feet I wonder
@@adampoultney8737 I googled it , glad the guys are ok , must have been scary , thanks for the info

I wanted to try gliding but I was told it was the most turbulent and most air sickness inducing activity you could perform.
i tend to agree with you as we look for turbulent air to keep flying

If that was first lesson you did well
thank you so much
Nice views over Portmoak in Fyfe…
i know, stunning views
