- Every year a number of trailers are rolled over on our roads and trailer accidents account for a great deal of glider repairs.
- The glider is not secure with only one light tyre on the wing-tip.
- To prevent this happening, the nose of the glider should be held down (or the tail held up) to reduce the wing incidence, as this in turn reduces the lift significantly.
- Cables are dangerous, and where there is more than one cable it is important to keep the glider straight and well clear of any other cable.
- Thus the pilots who are flying several different types of glider, or a glider which is unfamiliar to them, must ask themselves before each flight, "Do I need the stick forward to lift the tail, or back a little to lift the nose?"
- Of course, there is a small increase in speed as the climb gets steeper, both because the glider is starting to ascend the arc of a circle and also because of the effects of the wind gradient.
- This kind of blow-over can only be avoided by manning the glider all the time or by tying it down with pickets, preferably with the wings level and all its control surfaces locked to prevent them flapping against their stops.
- This is when there is the greatest risk of the glider being lifted off the ground by the first strong gust.
- Clearly, it is important to consider each of the ways in which you can safeguard your equipment because it is no use avoiding all the flying hazards if you are going to write off your glider on the ground.
- If it begins to look doubtful that the site can be reached and the glider is down to 1,000 feet, it is time to select the best possible field within easy reach and to make a safe landing in it.
- However, as soon as it begins to accelerate smoothly, that movement is no longer necessary, and the control should be moved to get the glider balanced nicely on to the main wheel.
- With the low acceleration of a car launch, unless the pilot recognises that the cable has broken and lowers the nose very quickly, the glider will stall and land heavily.
- A bad swing can easily lead to a serious ground loop or even to cart-wheeling and a broken glider.
