Drogue Chute Hangglider Landing
Переглядів 188Місяць тому
Landing my WW Sport 3 after a 4.4 hour flight over the Black Forest at Bleibach. When tired and landing in unfamiliar places I prefer to play it safe, approaching the landing site with plenty of altitude to spare and employing the drogue chute. With a high and long final it is easy to round out exactly where I intend to. #flying #hanggliding #chute #landing #blackforest #kandel
Landing my hangglider after XC flight, cold and failing to run it out, April 21st 2024
Переглядів 1042 місяці тому
After going XC, usually tired and cold, I prefer to choose soft surfaces to land on. On this occasion this strategy seemed the right way to do it. An unexpectrd wind gradient and me being cold and stiff after a more than 2 hour cool spring flight made me fail to run it out after flare, thanks to the soft soil all was fine.

      Of course, it is called a landing pattern. These were training flights, no thermals. -And when going crosscountry circling is essential to stay in the rising air, punctuated by stretches going straight, hopefully having made the right decision, where the next thermal is.

    • @metafly1
      @metafly1 Рік тому

      I can only compare it to my 2 year older Atos N with the aluminum A frame and direct actuators of the spoilers. But as the Atos V has got a practically new sail whereas the N has got the original, it might be unfair to compare. Even though frame and cut of the sails seem to be almost identical, I had the impression that the V is more sluggish in turning but maybe it is only that more input for the same spoiler actions is needed.

    So that is how you use the chute to land? Very good technic man. I m a paraglider . We don't use chute to land. But I guess for hang gliding it helps to reduce the landing speed. Also I see that you threw it at low altitude. So don't care about haters that criticize your technic. You land the way you want and if you wanna throw chute is up to you. Best flights!

    • @paulyoe6624
      @paulyoe6624 Рік тому

      @NachoWilde- The drag chute does not reduce your speed for landing, stall speed remains unchanged The purpose of the drag chute is to introduce, wait for it, drag. This reduces the glide efficiency of the glider and the glide slope becomes a lot steeper. This is useful for tight landing areas.

    • @metafly1
      @metafly1 8 місяців тому

      @@paulyoe6624 Yes, exactly. Biggest advantage imo is that the glide slope can be easily adjusted with choosing a higher speed for steeper glide slope. And even with a fairly high (meaning safe!) speed on final it is easy to round out at the point you are aiming at. Additionally the chute reduces the distance in ground effect considerably until stall speed is reached. Especially after long xc flights when my alertness and concentration has suffered or the landing area seems to have a slope using the chute makes my landings safer and more precise. You should be familiar with the technique, though. And then: high approach, deploy chute early (on base or final or even before starting your pattern), pull in for the spot you are aiming at, round out and flare after (quickly) bleeding off speed.
