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 Bernard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Wilson Sent: Friday, 29 August 2014 7:17 AM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Water Landing 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 undercarriage up. Not an option to things like Pipers and Cessna's. Perhaps options are discussed in manuals or some study somewhere. Thanks and I hope I never have to get that wet.

In any case, it was well done! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcsrDxOI8cc <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcsrDxOI8cc&feature=youtube_gdata_player> &feature=youtube_gdata_player Kind regards to all Bernard _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
