I have heard concerns that a large percentage of inadvertent ‘chute
operations on the ground would ensue, should we in the UK ever move to adopting static lines, as people would forget, leave the glider with the ‘chute and line attached, and deploy it by accident. It has nearly happened to some British visitors to German gliding clubs. In club gliders particularly, that would prevent the remaining people flying that day (unless lots of spare ‘chutes available). For a private glider, no more flying until repacked. I presume it is not much of a problem once people have got used to it. Chris N |
