Canopy opening in flight
I once towed an ASW19 with an unlocked canopy, no dramas but
the glider pilot (post flight) described the canopy sucking partially open then dropping before sucking partially open again. Using his elbow he was able to temporarily secure it until we got to a height that allowed him to release and put the canopy locks into the appropriate place. The additional (near) airprox with an R44 at about 400ft during climbout was far more exciting! At 11:35 26 August 2018, Tom wrote: Anyone know of an occurrence of a forward hinged canopy that opening in flight? Any possibility of this happening if the forward hinged canopy was unlocked on a flight? Thanks Tom |
