Gliding Over Uinta Mountains - with loops for the hikers 

The really skilled people in the world fly over thousand kilometers with no engine. About 8-9 hours in the air

@@GaebRush That's unbelievable. I had no idea gliders could stay up that long.

@Norvain Theres places where the wind goes upwards, so the pilot usally looks for them to gain altitude

using the wind to travel in air, like a sailboat but on air, so cool

I don't think the Wright Brothers would be in "awe" as they experimented with gliders. They knew how to fly like this just fine. They may be in awe of the technological advancements, and the abilities of gliders today in 2019, but so would anyone from 1900. The Wright's focus was on powered flight.

Andrew Potapenkoff hahahaaa love it

If you dont like the sound then you can turn it off. Or get an old mechanical variometer. But then you would have to watch the dial constantly since flying-by-the-pants doesnt work.. I suggest you instead think of the sound as that yt-meme with two oneyearolds having a discussion in the kitchen!

@@jonashellsborn7648 chill man

@@jonashellsborn7648 Chill mate. It's just a funny comment.

'sposed to be up makin breakfast fo somebody (shrugs)

WestcoastWheelman ha ha. You are so right. I had just finished flying a national competition where you are forced to fly left hand turns during a lot of it. The habit stuck. Thanks for watching.

Bruno Vassel No thank YOU for uploading! I love the long format "slow tv" style, and yes I watched the whole thing, every minute!

Now that was funny!

He's not an ambi-turner :)

Lol yes hahahahahahahaha I'm to dissy

R/woooosh

@@asmrl1157 you got wooshed r/ihavereddit

Nightwing Meh I have it too

Tango3Echo this post was made by the Glider Gang

Also glider gang: lol imagine not having wind

😂😂

he liked the back flips. lol

Lmfao yes!

The depressed robot is a Variometer, a vertical speed indicator

@@isaacroder3025 Does the frequency indicate decreasing/increasing vertical speed or only the magnitude of increasing vertical speed? I think the purpose is to know when you're climbing and how quickly

Yah. Movies lie

Yup. I am training to be light on the control on a Single engine and only control the yoke with two or 3 finger.

😜🤣🤣👍

😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

god bless you

Thanks David for commenting and for the kind words. So glad to hear you are enjoying these videos. :) Bruno

I too, enjoyed that part. And, I especially liked the pre flight info on the area you were in.

Not all Gliders are 6 Figure. You can easily get High Performance Single Seaters in the low 4 Figure Range. A DG-100, LS-1 or Grob Astir CS will cost you less than 10 000$ and these are still competitive Machines. And if you don't need a lot of Performance a Ka-6, Ka-8, SZD-30 Pirat or SF-27 will often go for less than 2500$, and you will have an Aircraft that is Safe and Easy to Fly and tend to be great for Thermalling. Gliding is the least expensive way to get flying possible. My Club in Germany costs around 40$ per month, 6$ per Start, Flight Instructors are volunteering, keeping my flying cost at well below 100$ per month, even when I'm very active.

MyFabian94 Thanks for the info!

MyFabian94 what is the name of your club??

Lol they aren’t.

@@mattkelly9000 lol they are. Can you say Sullenberger?

Energy Management! :)

Maybe that's the best place to start before learning how to fly an engine plane is to start to know how to fly a plane glider. Maybe that's how pilots can properly learn how to fly before they can become one of the best.

@@redroostermcmlxxl Most airforces used gliders, not just the Nazis.

Hahaha I was exactly the same. This looks way more fun because 1) it's less noisy and 2) you've really got to use your brain. Very cool.

When you watch gliders from the ground, doing all those circles in thermals it looks so graceful and relaxed. Then I went for a flight at the local glider club. Unfortunately I’ve discovered that I get sick really quickly. When you are in the plane while it does those circles … better bring a vomit bag.

The only thing with gliders is that if something were to go wrong youd pretty much be toast but atleast with a plane youd have a greater chance of surviving because youd have an engine

@@maulanwong3841 Absolute bullocks, sorry my friend... 😂😂😂 The one thingy that will most fail would be the engine, and gliders with their sink ratio of 40-50 (this means you can go 40-50km from a hight of 1.000 mtrs - 28 miles from 3.000 ft) gives you plenty of time to look for a suitable landing field (and these things are built for regular "out landing"). Less parts (1.200 compared to 35.000 in a modern powered a/c) makes for lot less failures. Add to this that flieder pilots do the "better"aerodynamical flying (because they are required to turn w/o slipping or pushing: see the little string on the windscreen that signals the air flow and keeps straight most of the time) and are trained to not rely on engine power also reduces human error as a factor. The only true risk (and 90% of the accidents) are mid air collisions in heavy populated thermal drafts with various a/c with little vertical separations doing their circles. Last: You wear a chute in your glider (and some modern ones even have a plane chute), and this allows you sometimes (if g-forces after a mid air don´t get too heavy) to leave your plane before it crashes. In total: COmpared to powered planes mcuh lower accident risk and even lower risk of fatal accidents.

@@mattolmar2007 what makes you think that the engine is most likely to fail on an airplane?? You do realize that planes are required to be maintained in order to fly. This includes the engine…

It was a glider that flew over me when I was on top of Lone Peak at 12 years old that inspired me. Thanks for watching and commenting John and let's go flying together!

@@BrunoVassel so thats how glider pilots reproduce :) hope you made some new ones during that flight

So funny, I came across this video again and just came to comment saying I still can't believe how much altitude can be gained from simple thermal updrafts... and found my own comment just as stunned a year ago :D

@@AureliusR felt the need to bring you back to this video and hopefully you still feel the same way as you did 6 years ago

@@user-il9nc9tk6i Still incredible! Air currents are powerful. Haven't watched gliding videos in a while but I will re-watch this one right now, just for you, K

What minute was that

do it

@@adriaansmit81 Covid threw a spanner in the works - i was actually in process of arranging as shit went down :( Maybe sometime this summer when i regrow my balls

@@IndefiniteMark Do it now. You'll be happier

Go for it, you will never look back! 👍🤟🤟🤟

"So then this annoying glider pilot came and _ruined the view!_ We could barely see anything past his flaps at 4."

And both feet on the rudder and the brakes Are when you push both rudder peddals down when landind

@Kyle Vivaan you dont have a girlfriend you virgin loser

Not really. You have no engine so if you don't gain aliltidute on thermal witch is really hard you bassicly loosing altidute. So its good to have an airport near.

Do it! I bet there is a club within a few hours of where you live that offers glider rides for you to try this out.

You mean Sandy Shores?

@@GunsNGames1 MacKenzie Field.

a little bit, yes

Wow, super cool to see you here! Been a fan for a very long time. :D

Hmm, hello. Nice to see you here..

Hi all...just dropping past myself..

Do it! You'll love gliding if you try it. Thanks for watching.

Why dont you go take a lesson from a reputable CFI ? Then you will get your answers ! It doesn't cost a lot to rent a glider with the instructor....

Buttons could be push to talk. Battery Time Some gliders stay flying for 12 hours. So i guess it could go up to that. I'm not sure the instruments need a battery but the radio do.

Thought so too! ;)

That's a nature... ♥

D. Mullins I’ll try to answer your questions based on my experience. Most high performance gliders are rated around -2 to +5G (-2 to -5.9 in my case). It’s way within the limits necessary for a loop, although constructors may not allow it in the manual. The negative setting for the flaps are meant to reduce drag to achieve better speed in transitions. And for the rudder, even if it looks tiny, it is very effective on gliders, and you can use it in a effective way just a couple of second after you start rolling.

cloud formations and knowing what direction the wind is going to use hills to your advantage

Just guess

Listen. Beeps go up in pitch mean rising air.

I talk about UK. I don't know how it works in the US but I assume it should be similar. if you are in class G airspace, no need for ground controller (it is "uncontrolled airspace"). For some airspaces, such as near airports etc. you have other classes (D, C, A) where you need controller authorization. Gliders do show up on radar, but their cross section is small, and radars generally filter anything going slower than 40 knots, so a glider might not appear at all. Also, most gliders don't have transponders so radar can't know how high you are. Risks of collisions are potential, and that's why there are tools like FLARM and constant lookout for colliding traffic. No flight plan required for gliders, as you generally don't match the requirements for filing one.

No requirement to file a FLT plan for powered, general aviation, Part 91, VFR (good weather) flights. What gave you the idea that one was required for all powered airplanes?

sorry ..."beaut and timely tips" .....

mattgotsskill yes, that’s EXACTLY what it is

Come on down! ;)
