FS2004 Glider Tow-Navigation Operation Video This file presents a navifation flight video from Matamata to Tauranga,North Island,New Zealand: It simulates a Piper J-3 towing a Rolladen-Schneider LS-7 Glider and can be useful for glider training because it shows a navigation flight: 1.Take-off -Piper J-3 towing LS-7 from Matamata Airfield(ICAO – NZMA) – elevation – 182 ft;. 2.Climb – During flight glider pilot must keep vision of tow plane wings flattened to horizon and ascencion is rectangular format paralel to airfield directions(RWY 10/28),so both aircrafts stays inside security cone if happens a pane; 3.Release – 2000 feet above ground is pattern level to leave tow plane(J-3 pilot balance two wings – that´s the signal)- 2325ft in this case; 4.After release flightsimmers change J-3 for glider LS-7)L/D 1:43) or another and so glider flight begins; 5.Thermals clibbing – keep glider above stall speed and make port curves(in this case); 6.After get altitude(9715ft) keep heading 058-060 to go Tauranga direction; 7.Some aerobatics; 8.As glider finishes aerobatics at low altitude pilot much reduce speed to minimal sink to reach Tauranga(ICAO-NZTG) 9.Dive; 10.Flatten dive; 11. Precision Landing. It will be useful to receive any feed-back avaliation. By Francisco Vargas. 2.3MB
