Been there done that. I flew six flights and almost five hours in the Royal Wave same day with Puchacz. Thanx gratefully for the film. Istvan from Hungary
What are the possibilities of encountering traffic whilst cloud flying? Say from other gliders, birds (birdstrikes are very nasty) or powered aircraft? Or would the airspace around this sector generally be cleared of all air traffic? I'm surprised that the general visibility through such clouds is almost virtually zero.
Agreed. Why do so many glider video-postings have really naff music tacked on. I love to hear the swish of air, the beeps of varios in the sink and lift, the flexing of the wings as you approach maximum speed, the uncouth language in a crowded thermal near a start line in a comp, the brown feeling in your trousers as you just about walk away from some field-landing.....
beautiful video, great flying but here's a tip: any flying video is incomplete without the original sound of the air flowing on the wings. i could care less about your music tastes. if i want music i shall play my own while i`m watching it. this video is very good, and it's a shame cause it could have been great with the original sound. anyways, thumbs up, and +fav definitely.
Great visuals but I think you’ve confused the concept of ‘gliding’ video with ‘music’ video. Leave the latter type to MTV. Otherwise, an enjoyable flight!
I think you might be refering to the 'Yaw String'. It's a bit of coloured string or more often wool thats taped to the outside of the canopy. It tells the pilot whether he's flying acurately (or not). And I really like the music.

You must have a hotline either to heaven or to hell!
@airbus198 In the most part of the world, the minimu age to support the exam for the pilot license (either engine-propelled or glider) is 16, but many flight school allow to begin the lessons before the 16th birthday. =) enjoy the best sport in the world! by a 22 years old glider pilot! ;-D
Absolutely stunning. I'm into aviation since I was a kid and I'm planning to do a gliding permit. But as far as I understood thermal flying so far - it's impossible to fly on thermics above the clouds right? So were you ascending on an airwave created by the wind hitting a big obstacle (like a mountain)? I'm asking because flying between the clouds always seemed most.. appealing for me, it was always my biggest dream :). So how difficult is it to get above the clouds?
Easy when you get into wave conditions. You don’t need ultra expensive gliders to do this, it can be a vintage glider. 20 000 foot climbs are common on some wave sites.
I would rather hear the wind singing than that music...
Although I agree, he could certainly have chosen a worse song..

Great Video until the music started
This video would have been great without that singing (wailing).
Fantastic video. Good test to verify that my volume knob still turns full counter-clockwise.
😂
Good thing you have an attitude indicator in that aircraft otherwise this would be plain nuts... oh hang on a minute...
exceptional video one of my favorites on all utube well done!
that was a wicked slip at the end.
Nicely done.
We were the ASW15 that was parked next to you in the trailer park at Aboyne.

Very very impressive - thank you
I prefer gliding videos without music hiding the real sounds of the elements.
Another great vid. Thankyou.

Volume button??
Must bee an amazing feeling flying above the clouds!! I can't wait until my soaring lessons start!!
Great view above the clouds, loved the music, badass glider and sweet landing too!

@tommoutrie - I think I have flown in that glider with that block in the back, except it was a gentle thermal bimble from Lasham to Chievely and back!
It's flawless

Nice flight. Glad we got rid of those DG1000s though.
I like gliding videos where I can share the experience and the music did NOT help.
Very, very nice.
Music blows.
turbulence? haha

Great moment at the end when the mood music finished......
Gliding seems so peaceful no loud engines I really want to get my license flying near the clouds look so cool.
Peaceful? With all the bloody music up there with you?
nice side slip ! haha old skool :)
wow! that´s pretty awesome! i´ll do it when i´ve got my licens !
beautiful! How do you avoid other gliders?
Don't hang out with them
Awsome! What would you do if you had to do IMC descent?
Use the force......
great video and nice landing =) ^^
OUT STANDING! video.

@@julianday think you might be a tad late to reply to this
fantastic!!!!!
@Ululuro DG1000
IFR? no problems loosing att
So, what are the British VFR cloud clearance requirements?
@scdidadm No artificial horizon was installed in the glider?
Might be built into the vario, but it's not mandatory in Europe.
@@Tjita1 it’s also mit mandatory to fly *in* the clouds.
A good video ruined by the music...
great video, atrocious and childish music ...
Ugh! Why the stupid music?
