AERIAL FLORIA.

Here is a video of my first solo flight takeoff at CYQM!

Glider pilots are masters in energy management. All they've got is the altitude they were towed up to and the thermals they track down. Did you know, that it's possible to do aerobatics with gliders, nonetheless? Despite 20+ years of flying, I'd never been in a glider - let alone flown aerobatics. I'm member of the same flying club in Stockerau (LOAU) as one of the pilots of the Austrian Glider Aerobatics team (they scored 3rd place in the world championship in 2019!). There's no better way to experience something new than with a master like him. ⚠ Safety first! He showed me how to strap on and operate the parachute, explained the emergency procedures, and went through the few instruments and levers in the MDM-1 Fox of the Spinning Hawks (OE-5666). Speed in km/h, altimeter in m above ground - all very unusual for me. Once we were ready, the Robin DR 400 (OE-KUB) towed us to 1200 m AGL. Since it was my first time, He only did "old man's aerobatics": rolls, loops, hammerhead, spin. However, we pulled probably around 5 g. It was interesting to see the difference between applying muscle tension and the lack thereof, experiencing an onset of tunnel vision. The program took around 5 minutes, then we were ready for landing. 🛩 The adrenalin rush was incredible, and so was the precision the figures were flown with. It felt like the plane was on rails. I'm hooked! I can't wait to fly with him again. 💡 This experience was a powerful reminder to step outside your comfort zone. Calculated risks can lead to incredible rewards, and resourcefulness is key to success. #glider #aerobatics #champion #flying #aviation
