21 Jan Glider Safety Webinar

Although the were some initial audio problems - weather related to the
snowstorm in the NE US,
attendees learned or reviewed some information that could save their
life:

1. The main cause of landing accidents - at the airfield or off-field.
2. Review of the six signs of a stall - in the order they will occur.
3. Safe recovery from a stall in any flight situation.
4. Safe and not-safe landing patterns.
5. How to know when TLAR - that looks about right.
6. The safe (and only legal in the USA) setting of the altimeter.
7. How to safely land any glider, anywhere, without needing to use an
altimeter.

The 28 Jan Webinar will include more on safely landing away from an
airport.

I am not a CFIG, but appreciate that Tom will mention how these skills
are taught at
Ridge Soaring Gliderport.
