GPC Theory Lesson 6 Unit 18 Spin & Spiral Dive Avoidance and Recovery (1).pptx
Gliders spend a lot of their time flying at a high angle-of-attack and therefore have a high potential for spin entry.
Spins & spiral dives consume considerable amounts of height and are dangerous below 1000’ AGL.
You need to know how to recognise & recover from spins & spiral dives.

GPC Theory Lesson 5 Circuits and Landings Part1.pptx
• For a safe landing we must: -
o Break off the flight – terminate soaring
o Have a suitable landing area and pattern
o Configure the aircraft for landing
o Set up a final approach path with a safe margin over obstacles.
• The purpose of the circuit is to arrive at the final turn in the right place, at a safe height (at least 300ft AGL) and speed, and with safe alternatives always available.
• At an airfield it has the further purpose of setting up an orderly flow of traffic.
