Interesting final glide in a heavy rain shower back to Narromine airport. In a glider it is very hard to estimate the performance degradation due to the water drops on the wing profile. Fortunately I was high enough and was able to land safely at the airport.

This video clearly demonstrates the one nice thing about flying in rain: the wet yaw string stays glued to the center of the canopy instead of randomly flipping from side to side the way it usually does when I fly. So whenever I feel my inadequate stick-and-rudder skills, I just go looking for rain.

Hey Stefan, if you were a few kilometers further away from the finish line (runway - haha), would you have flown slower or faster in the rain? Parasite drag is very high in rain and even higher at speed...

Is the cockpit glass treated with water repellent? The droplets on the glass looks very similar to when I treated my car window with water repellent, very effective as you normally would not need to use the windscreen wiper if you had a little speed :) The water droplets would just be few and very small and the rest would just blow away with the wind.

I have flown many brazilian championships in the past and have experienced the chalenge of evaluating final glides in rain. But it was a long time ago. I wonder if modern final glide computers can support different polars for light and heavy rains... Can they ?
@SteFly
@SteFly 5 месяцев назад
Never heard of that. Then we would need to have polars for different rain scenarios first...

In the heavy rain 170 km/h and -4.5 m/s that's a glide slope of 10:1 Without rain it's about 23:1 . What a difference .

Overan the active area of the runway (past the piano keys and in the rough -the other glider turned off so as not to block the strip - "nailing it"? Straight in finishes seem to have been banished for state competition and earlier world's here (Benalla 2017) which made it much less spectacular than in the 'old days' but safer --the finish line is higher and quite far from the airfield . "Heavy rain" --in pretty clear air, smooth but high sink not sure how much due to air vs speed , having encountered sleet in a glider (M200 ) many years ago with huge noise as well this is not really 'unusual' -having a final glide margin to fly through rain is wise but standard practice.
