Hello all
It appears to me that this glider pilot either left his field selection a
little late or he wanted to
imitate Captain Sullenberger! In any case, it was well done!

Thanks Bernard,
I hope we don't see a spate of such landings now. But to me it was useful
because a fear for all would be the nose digging in leaving the cockpit under
water. Options were oft discussed in Finland in 1976.
I think it also implies such landings should be done with the
Hi Alan
Precisely!
A major reason for posting this link was to through doubt on the claim that
gliders always submarine on water landings.
Kind regards to all

Hmmm, it is also said that the gear should be deployed. I understand this
is the recommended procedure in Finland. This glider certainly did not
lower his gear.

Don't expect any of the avionics to work after you do this.
I've seen what happens on a couple of occasions. One was Lake
Keepit(clearly a fair bit of salt) and one was a Norwegian lake(less salt).
Managed to salvage a couple of boards out of the Norwegian one.

And did not turn upside down nor get sucked down which appears to be the
theory behind
lowering the gear to stop that.
This is a link to another pilot who ditched in the sea and lowered the
gear and ended upside
down, he surmises that the tail may have hit a wave first, but could it
also be
Grant, I really enjoyed your jest. May you have a long and happy life

Not quite sure why you would put the gear down when landing on water. Is
there an explanation as to why?
Wouldn't this add excess drag that may cause the nose to dig in?
This example shows a wheel up landing on water doesn't adversely push the
nose under.

Surely there are so many variables (fuselage shape, surface of water, C of
G position, etc) that almost every case would be different.
I'm sure there would be examples of gear up gear down examples succeeding
and failing.
