FS2004 Glider Tow Operation Video


This file presents a flight video over Lleida Airfield(LEAT),,Catalonia,Spain:

It simulates a Aero Boero towing a Blanik L-13 Glider and can be useful for glider training because it represents the view of glider pilot student in his cockpit:

1.Take-off -Aero Boero(AB-220) towing L-13 from Lleida Airfield(ICAO - LETA) - elevation - 1380 ft;.

2.Climb - During flight glider pilot student must keep vision of tow plane wings flattened to horizon and ascencion is rectangular format paralel to airfield directions(RWY 01/19),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 AB for L-13 and so glider flight begin;

5.Thermals clibbing - keep glider above stall speed(55km/h-29.7kts) 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.Stall;

9.Right and left spins;

10.Looping;

11.Split S(Retournement);

12.Landing RWY 01 as predominant wind direction was 30 degrees
