Default Some simulated dangerous situations

Hello!
I had a close call this summer and decided to try to illustrate a few

rous situations using Condor. This effort was received with some

in our local gliding community.=20

An interesting and very helpful use of Condor to illustrate some these,
good to see the impact of different decisions (especially the crossing
glider in the final glide illustration which could happen at any
turnpoint.

Another one you might try is two gliders in circuit (in the pattern
depending on where you fly!) on different sides of the field, so one doing
a left hand circuit, the other a right hand circuit to the same
runway/landing area.

When they turn onto base leg they will be head-on to each other but the
tendency is for each pilot to be concentrating most of their attention on
the landing area - especially if it us congested with gliders landed
earlier.
