Flying a sailplane over Switzerland - Glider aircraft flight training - Discus 2b
It´s been calm for a while on this channel...
A lot of good things happened during the past months that prevented me from creating more videos and live streams.
Amongst those things is that I started my flight training for a gliders pilots license in Switzerland. Therefore, you might see some more REAL (and not only simulated) flights on this channel soon :)
In this video you will find some impressions from one of my flights during the training program including the beautiful scenery over the Lake Walen region, in between the cantons of Zurich, St. Gall, Schwyz and Glarus.
The weather was beautiful on that day. However, not the best conditions for gliding. Due to the late time of the year, only light winds and almost no cumulus clouds, there were hardly any thermals or dynamic lift.
Thus, the flight was not really long. But still beautiful.
Other pilots on that day did a better job and were able to stay in the air a bit longer. I guess practice makes it perfect... :)
Hope you like the video.
Wishing you all the best!

    A safety valve prevents hydraulic pressure to the landing gear system if you fly faster than 260 knots. If you cycle the landing gear lever you will shift the LGCIUs and they are fully redundant. Lastly you have gravity extension. If you land and aircraft in the belly without informing ATC you are a moron. Also belly landing and chasing your mind is crazy.

    Today I came to Silchar from Calcutta to Silchar with my family and parents by Indigo flight and the Aircraft was Airbus A 320 NEO.The pilot of the captain was Mr Sangket Parikh .Our Aircraft took from Netaji Subhas Basu Airport Calcutta at 11:07 pm . Before take off the captain of the Aircraft told us all the passangers that a turbulence is expected after take off but he told us passengers not to get worried or nervous but rather to remain seated on our seats with our seat belts fastened calm composed and relaxed🙄.When the Aircraft took off after some 10 minutes the aircraft while flying through dense clouds started to twist and turn and bounce like a ping pong ball.All of us passengers were dead silent and after 48 minutes when we were about to land at Khumbirgram Airport Silchar the pilot brought down the Aircraft almost on the runway but again suddenly the Captain of the Aircraft climbed again and started to fly on go round basis and thanks to Almighty God(Allah) the aircraft landed smoothly after tense 5 minutes😮🙏. When the Aircraft successfully landed at the Airport I suddenly remembered of this tragic Air Crash where the captain of this Aircraft landed the Airbus A320 Aircraft at first attempt unfortunately after landing the lower portion of the Aircraft hit against the hard surface of the tarmac which produced a spark and when afterwards the pilot climbed again to make landing on Go round basis unfortunately which the captain of the Aircraft failed and many passengers lost their lives only 2 passengers luckily managed to survive 😢🙏

    Ich trau den dingern nicht. Man muss doch ständig angst haben dass man nicht zurückkommz weil man über einen berg nicht drüberkommt oder so??? Oder kreist man da stöndig nur um den flugplatz? Paragleiten is viel besser. Man kann alleine starten überall landen und ist viel flexibler

      Stimmt schon - Angst ist vielleicht der falsche Begriff, aber Respekt ist sicher nicht verkehrt. Aussenlandungen gehören beim Segelfliegen dazu. Kann bei jedem Flug passieren.

    Does this tool actually replays all the controls correctly? On freeware tools, the replays are always fucked up (retracted flaps, fully deployed spoilers on final approach and such things, because it seems to always remember the last state of the aircraft instead of picking the state which was actually active when recording).
