FS2004 Updated Glider Tow Operation Video This file presents a flight video over Resende,Rio de Janeiro State,Brazil: It simulates a Piper J-3 towing a Rolladen-Schneider LS-7 Glider and can be useful for glider training because it represents the view of glider pilot in his cockpit: 1.Take-off -Piper J-3 towing LS-7 from Resende Airfield(ICAO – SDRS) – elevation – 1380 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 08/26),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); 4.After release flightsimmers change J-3 and so glider flight begin; 5.Thermals clibbing – keep glider above stall speed and make right and port curves.After 9000ft we must use oxygen equipaments; 6.Choose a ground reference Iniciate straigh and horizontal flight; 7.First and second types coordinations; 8.Curves right and port – 90 and 180 degrees; 9.Stall; 10.Right and left spins; 11.Looping; 12.Split S(Retournement); 13.Tunneau; 14.Dive; 15.Flatten dive; 16. “s” aproximation; 17. Precision Landing. By Francisco Vargas. 1.8MB
