Thanks for posting this! It brings back wonderful memories from when I was a teenager in the Royal Canadian Air Cadets - we used to go gliding at least once per year and it was so much fun.
I am a glider pilot from Australia and am amazed to see you are on high tow and turn left once detached from the tow plane... Nevertheless, it is a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Justin Rein, Im taking the license myself, and when you go solo, you are about half way through the study. It takes about 1,5 to 2 years to take the license. And it is a license😀 You also need a theory exam, and a medical.

Thanks for the comment :)
This is standard procedure in the UK and in a lot of european countries, I believe. What do you do in Aus?
@@Skeptibot Usually low tow, then clearing turn to the right after release.
I believe standard practice in the UK is to turn in the same direction as the tow aircraft on release.
@@RumMonsta Same in the USA, sometimes with a higher position though. Tow plane always turns left.
We turn opposite way to tug in UK - My club does it exactly the same way as in the video
Lovely stuff brings back lots of memories
Nice work, takes me back.a few years.
I enjoyed watching this video James. Brilliant!
Very helpful video there are many aerobatics videos out there but not many with training involved so really enjoyed the video brilliant
Glad it was helpful for you!
Are you still gliding if so can you upload some more gliding videos
nice
A bit confused; shouldn't you be using the aerotow hook in the nose?
No back-release on the nose hook!
Hope this isn't a silly question but what's the screeching noise?
Comes from the DV (direct vision) panel, it's an indicator that the aircraft is not flying entirely clean, i.e not as smoothly as possible
Sidewinder Lock tone =) yeah direct vision
The action starts at 10.00 mins
Do you have some sort of a licence in GB in terms of Gliding? Or is it just that you are done once you go solo?
