SSF's Flight Simulator and ADM Training Program

Participate in developing new videos. In 2011, the Soaring Safety Foundataion started a project to use the Condor Soaring Simulator program to generate short videos showing both accident producing events and properly performed flight maneuvers. The SSF is now ready to expand the library of videos and we need your help to accomplish this. This page lets you view the list of current requests, request a new video, or help prioritize the production of new videos. New videos will be added to the library based on this community demand. Your participation will make this a better resource for all U.S. glider pilots.

Visit these pages and let us know what you think with an email to the SSF.
