this pilot is flying a glider which has no engine and you can tell he’s been doing it for a while you see gliders have no engine which means he has to fly it using the rising air to stay airborne which in my humble opinion is way scarier honestly I don’t feel like I could do it would you try it

been there did that
great fun!
I'm thinking about that joke of the pilot announcement 3 engines out, passenger says that if we lose one more we're going to be up here all day, these glider could indeed be up there all day with the right wind
Does glider has no crush during the flight due to bad weather or whirling wind and wear a parachute for just safety?
Fun fact: gliders are safer than prop planes, they are made to stay up in the air and glide, which means it has an better glide ratio. Also what's gonna happen to you while flying a glider? Losing an engine? π
Fun facts, they can fly all the way across the continent of the US on thermals
Yes. Iβd be a regular pilot first, but gliders these days seem like an absolute blast with how they retain energy and can endure maneuvers like what is shown.
Honestly, after u get used to it its pretty easy bc you js glide, and when u fall u go down slowly
Is bro really chewing gum while flying a plane with no engines?ππ
Glad he reminded us so many times that gliders have no engine so we don't get confused
Yes
I'm going to punch you
Glider pilot at 16, best thing i did at my lifeπ
Yes
Yesβ€
Flying gliders is much easier than flying airplanes plus you keep flying as there's always wind and rising air. It's safer too due to no engine. No engine less failure
no thanks…
Do you need a pilot license for a glider?
In this video, the pilot is doing aerobatics witch normally don't inclide thermal flying…
Chewing gum while doing aerobaticsβ no one's there to perform the Heimlich.
I love when ai tells us itβs humble opinion and what it is scared of and how this ai told us it is too scared to try piloting a glider.
So… you are NOT a pilot.
Nah I need engine
Other people: I have nothing to worry about cause theirs no engine failure cause no engine.
Me: what if The wings fall off?
No engines means no fuel on board. An emergency wouldnβt be fatal, so yes, itβs probably safer than a regular airplane. I think all pilots should start their training on this type of aircraft, so they can learn how aerodynamics work and become familiar with their planes, because the basic concept is the same.
My greatest fear would be running out of lift
