Near Mid Air Collision with Tow Plane 😐

Подробнее о видео

In this video we analyse a near miss with a tow plane and glider on tow. How it happened, what went wrong, and what we learned to help avoid such incidents in the future. It was closer than we would like! We talk about how important lookout is, how FLARM should be used, and how easy it is for a near collision to occur. Is it weird to instructor react to your own video and incident?!

Glider I'm flying is the Ventus cT 18m glider
