aerial sports provide us with incredible sensations, since one of the main characteristics is that they give us the opportunity to see aerial landscapes that Any other way would be impossible for us.
Now, what aerial sports can we practice? We have a great variety, but this time we are going to talk about flight without a motor and the safety regulations that must be maintained before and during the activity.
What should be taken into account before flying under sail?
1. If we want to fly alone, the first thing we absolutely have to do is a pilot course. To carry out the activity you have to understand all types of operations, techniques, maneuvers, flight habits... Which without a course would be impossible.2. We must remember that the instructor who gives us the pilot course is professional enough to pay attention to his advice. If we have any doubts we will have to ask them and we will practice as many times as necessary those maneuvers that do not go quite right.
3. When taking off, it must be clear that the takeoff is done firmly but without forcing. In addition, you must avoid remaining in the jet of the propeller and the marginal vortices.
4. Do not make movements that are not necessary in any direction, in turns or when towing straight. Likewise, it will be necessary to work hard enough to be able to prevent or eliminate, if necessary, slackness in the trailer rope.
5. Make sure when you fly that when practicing maneuvers you are in an ideal airspace if you later want to rejoin the traffic pattern without having to make sudden movements or glide too long.
6. Important aspects:
- Have the ability to fly in both directions (although they always fly from the left). But yes, pay close attention to not intercede in another pilot's flight and ask for prior authorization from the aerodrome authorities.
- Always make sure not to make a change of direction if there is an aircraft nearby.
- It is very important to maintain a constant glide speed and be adequately prepared for the descent to the landing point.
- Check, before takeoff, that the dive brakes work correctly to apply another procedure if this is not the case.
- The landing will be carried out as a general rule 50 meters before or after a previously chosen point.
