Default Overnighter - lessons and questions.

What level of pupil where you flying with? First flight, pre solo,
visiting pilot, what?

Obviously, this time something was different, can you put your finger on it?

What equipment will you be flying with in future?
e.g. Radio? Panel or handheld?
Mobile phone (would you have had coverage?).
Any survival kit?

Were you wearing parachutes? Even if you make a good landing, the canopy
can be used to make shelter, and would perhaps be much more visible than the
glider itself.

I am the PIC of the glider that landed out on December 4th. I am
willing to answer any questions with the hope it will help others be
more prepared in a similar situation. Please only questions or
suggestions, no criticism.
