A chain of small mistakes can ruin your flight | Bombing out early
Story of my life 😅
Collapse? LOL Those are just tiny tip-folds.
awesome
Just watched the whole video. Very informative. It gave me weird feelings about trying to fly big triangles in roldanillo: I would have to get close to the jungle and wilderness. As long as you bomb out in the cauca valley, getting back home is a piece of cake. But if you bomb out just one mini-valley more to the inside of the mountains, it could take you hours to get out. How do you cope with the risk of bombing out near the jungle? It could virtually take you days of travelling in a dangerous environment (no cell coverage, wild animals/insects, narcos, etc) before you get back. Am I maybe exaggerating the risks?
This year I bombed out in a farm, closer to the mountains, near Ansermanuevo. It took me almost half an hour to get to the road leading up to this farm. Then a guy picked me up and told me that Ansermanuevo is no place for gringos like me and drove me to the train station in another town (Pereira). While driving through Ansermanuevo I saw what he meant, it didn't look nice :D He didn't ask me any money nor did he accept it when I offered it. I just can't imagine what could happen by bombing out in the real wilderness. Anyway, I am going back in January, Colombia is magical :)
Well... As I mentioned in the video, it's all about risk management. You have to apply your own. E.g. there were pilots flying much bigger triangles on those days I flew, but they flew into areas I considered too risky for me. I'd say, everything up to 160-170 lm is relatively safe, everything more does need some precise risk management. To avoid landing in the jungle or in the wilderness, I use the easiest solution possible: flying defensive and staying high. It's slower, yes. Anyway - wish you great flights and maybe see you there!
Travelling to Roldo in less than a month... Good timing :)
As usual awesome content. You’re the man. So nice to watch someone doing it right. Btw what nationality are you ? Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Excellent video. And I really enjoyed it because I grew up in this area
You are so lucky! This is an incredible place to live!
Overall do you prefer flying the Peak 6 or the Diva 2?
I love the handling of Peak 6 and its easy takeoff! However, as a complete package, I like the Diva 2 more.
Великолепный маршрут,потрясающие виды,ухоженные старты Италия прекрасная страна.Природа очень похожа,как на Кавказе.У нас тоже очень много лётных мест.Осенью любим летать в Чегем и на г.Эльбрус,высокая база и комфортный воздух.Рядом с большими горами находятся прекрасные курортные города,там тоже есть горы лакколиты высотой 1000-1400 метров,летаем там круглый год.На счёт Италии,хотим поехать в марте 🪂👍
I wonder how Malin Lobb would fly this conditions.
Simply incredible and so well explained. Just love it. Tks for posting
My pleasure 😊 Thank you for watching!
Nice area for cross-country. Any power lines that we'd need to worry about ? I heard those made flying low quite tricky. Wouldn't to fly into one you know :P
What power lines? 😮 I've never heard about any power lines near Roldanillo 😅
The antenna on the south side from Aquapanela is really strong. I had the opportunity to wriggle out of the pit and it was tough. The overhead option is better and it still kicks quite a bit above the antenna. Great guide.
🎉❤
I always watch your video. I think you are doing a great job for the whole community! Thanks a lot for what you are doing! Hope to see you in Roldanillo this January. I’ll be there from the 20th to February 3rd. I’ll be glad to thank you in person. Drinks on me and my friends! 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for your feedback, such comments really motivate me to continue making these videos. And yes, I'll be in Roldanillo in Jan/Feb, so maybe see you there!
Nice vid, so many great memories there. I hope you make a vid about flying past Anserma. I had all kinds of fun there. Warning: If you top land in Ansermo for a quick toilet break, you still have to pay a launch fee :(
Yes, an interesting place to fly. I've actually crossed to Ansermanuevo many times already, just didn't include that in the video. An interesting route is one-way from Roldanillo over Ansermanuevo further to the north. Maybe I'll fly it one day.
At right about the 3:45 mark is where I landed out one day in January. I was still a super super new pilot at that point. Tough lesson to learn with that 13 or so mile hike out and down towards La Union!
For anyone curious, this is roughly where I fell out. 4°30'23"N 76°07'45"W
Thanks for sharing your story! I can imagine how hard it was to hike this route in the Colombian heat with a backpack on your shoulders. Looking at the coordinates you posted, I think this place is rather at 6:05 and 12:32 in the video. The one you pointed out at 3:45 is just right after taking off, it's near Roldanillo.
@dymanoid you might be right! Tough to tell haha. We launched from an unofficial launch that day with my guide. It was a little below the Los Tanques launch. Hindsight- I really had no business flying there. I was a nearly brand new p2 with the minimum hours. (Longest flight at that point was around an hour like 3 days prior in Ansermanuevo). Knowing what I know now, I could have gotten out of the situation. Or really not have ended up there in the first place. Hoping to go back late Jan....redemption is coming!
Perfect! Thank you so much.
Great Video!
Very pro guiding video! Reminds me for Tom Ceunen videos
Looks like not a great glider. I would go for Skywalk X-alps 5. Less hassle
Great vid! Love the thermal and lee animations! Fun looking at all the spots I have also flown. Will be there on Jan. 23rd through Feb. 10. Let me know if you are out there, and I'll keep an eye out for you.
Thank you! Yes, I'll be there around these dates as well, so probably see you there!
Yes, we love the big FAI triangle!
I’m afraid i would take a wrong turn at a power line 😂
Hm... There are not too many. At which one? 😅
Really love your videos! This is the first one I could follow along knowing exactly what you were talking about as I have flown most of the first half of this flight. Of course you did it better than I, but hey, there’s always next time. 👍👍
Awesome, thank you! Now you can fly something bigger - you know how the terrain looks like and what to expect.
Wow, what a comprehensive and high quality video. Will help a lot of pilots, including me!
Glad to hear that!
Goof flying and nice route!!!
So much knowledge about the geography and winds. Saves me years of exploration and bombing out.
Glad you find this useful! My best reward is when pilots can say after their flight: "that video helped me make it real".
Great video, really useful. It is also possible to cross the valley earlier and fly the other side and avoid a lot of stress / power line problems / unlandable valleys / jungle / wilderness. You won't get the 185k triangle though.
Absolutely! I also mention this when I talk about the route. It's possible to switch the valley side as soon as the valley starts generating lift. The flight will be much more relaxing, but at the same time much shorter too. That doesn't mean it will be "worse" or boring though!
Really like the graphics like the thermals on your videos, they really add to the information! 😊
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
Thanks - loads of useful tips. I’m going for the first time this year so maybe won’t get so far as that but I hope for a few 100s. Will need to watch this a few times I think ✌
Best of luck! I really hope this video will be useful to you and many more pilots planning their XC routes in Valle del Cauca.
@@dymanoidfor sure it will. I’ll never be able to remember all the cables but the rest I’ll definitely have a good map of where to go and what to expect
So lucky you did not ask for a Rum for every powerline;) I think it was 28 if the plural and the ones in the beginning also count Cheers
Gosh, I should have asked for rum! I could have drunk so many cocktails then...
You said power line 23 times, I wonder where my gift is ? nice video regards
Great! Your gift awaits you in Valle del Cauca - it's your knowledge about all the tricky spots. Come and fly safely!
great stuff! 👍👍
perfect timing, going there soon :)
Hope you enjoy it!
Im curious :)
thanks for sharing
😁 Nice.
🪂🤌
masterclass again
Hi Dimi, nice that you also point out the difficult aspects of our sport. Would it have been an option to fly southwest into the Antholz valley? At least you would have had more working height.
Yes, not all flights are a great success, sometimes there are bloopers like this one. The Antholz valley was unfortunately not a good option, the cloud base there was significantly lower, and the pilots who took off at Grente one hour later after us struggled a lot to get to the Staller Sattel.
I dont think im a better pilot than you, but you asked for ideas what you and the group could have than better. You told us that the situation at the take off was different from the forecast. Maybe that could be an indicator to wait longer to be sure to get thermals. In that moment you all already knew that the day could not be as good as expected. So to wait longer only means to reduce your risks of beeing disappointed. And: Thank you for sharing so many interesting videos about our great sport :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! This is what we indeed considered. We took off a bit later than planned and also we were not the first pilots in the air - a couple of pilots launched before us and did manage to get some climb. It turned out that they perfectly met the thermal cycle and we totally missed it. And because of the inversion layer and the "wrong" wind we didn't get any second chance. Sometimes it happens!
This was probably flown in may?
Yes. You can find out all the flight information, including its date, on XContest by following the link in the video description 😉
Another great video! I will watch them all again this winter, as a wait for the spring season. Fly safe!
Your buddy got an amazing shot of you crossing that valley.
Absolutely - I love this picture!
Toll geflogen und vor allem bärenstarkes Video. Ganz toll umgesetzt und nachdem ich es geschaut habe, sieht das (bei dir) ja ganz einfach aus ;)
Danke, Matthias! Ja, manchmal bekommt man tatsächlich bei solchen Videos den Eindruck, es sei alles easy und peace of cake. Wir beide wissen aber, was tatsächlich dahinter steckt, gell? 😉
Amazing video! Well done! Thank you for posting.
