When gliders fail in flight, but pilots manage to land
Bruno Vassel recalls how the control stick broke off in a glider pilot's hand and how that pilot landed the aircraft safely (using rudder to turn and trim to control speed).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF0tTzvU8IM&t=411s Another favorite scenario is 'one spoiler stuck open'... the pilot opened the other spoiler to match and landed promptly. Spoilers frozen shut... slip to land. What else breaks and what if anything could be done about it?
