Look outside! Fly like an eagle (video.)
When I fly with students in training and seasoned sailplane pilots for their flight review, I notice that most do not turn their head to look around outside the cockpit as much as they should (perhaps mesmerized by a simple variometer or a more sophisticated display.)
This video shows how an eagle looks around and observes its environment. Ultimate situational awareness! Note how it folds its wings to make a descent (fast final glide) when it spots its trainer. http://www.flixxy.com/world-record-e...?utm_source=nl Burt in Marfa, Texas, USA Offering "rusty pilot" courses, flight reviews and free glider rating checkrides.

All instruments inbuilt, backed up a innate flight skills. Nothing to look at "inside"
 Great video though Cheers paul On Thursday, 7 May 2015 00:09:42 UTC+10, Burt Compton - Marfa Gliders, west Texas wrote: When I fly with students in training and seasoned sailplane pilots for their flight review, I notice that most do not turn their head to look around outside the cockpit as much as they should (perhaps mesmerized by a simple variometer or a more sophisticated display.)

They cheat. They're using a "Heads Up" display!
