This explanation is not 100% correct.... When a wind gradient is encountered during a strong wind landing, the glider will sink strongly, which means that the airflow during the sink will mainly come from below, so the resistance on the glider will increase, this will result in a leaning back rather than pitch forward of the glider. At this point, the angle of attack of the glider is in a very dangerous area
That's exactly what happend with me and how I get injured. I didn't know about this gradient and when my wing suddenly dive forward, I've started pulling the brakes up to a stall. 16m of falling on stallen wing, ischime broken. 2 months of recovery
Gracias hace unos días aterricé fuerte.. estaba a 3 metros del piso y quedé sentado, un aterrizaje muy malo.. no puse freno total.. creo que hubo una descendente y por eso terminé en el piso :( pero ver este vídeo me saca de dudas
