Notes:
Here’s where it becomes important for glider and airplane pilots to exercise courtesy, common sense and, COMMUNICATE! And why it helps so much for each to understand the limits of performance of the other.
The FARs in this case are crafted to clearly give PICs the authority and responsibility to THINK and ADAPT in critical situations. We all need to know and practice the full range of safe procedures for all aircraft.
Glider pattern – SMALL!
Glider clearing the runway – HARD!
Run through several scenarios. Include significance of US custom of putting gliders in “opposite” traffic, where possible.
