Flight Maneuver Video Clips

This page provides pilots and instructors with examples of properly flown flight maneuvers. Each video clip contains a Condor simulation of a specific flight maneuver. Pilots should discuss each maneuver with an instructor to detemine how the pilot moved the flight controls to accomplish this maneuver. Instructors should also be prepared to discuss potential errors that students/pilots make when performing the maneuver. The Instructor Guide provides instructors with talking points and more details about each clip.

  The pilot is landing in a strong cross-wind from the left. The pilot must correct for the increased ground speed on base leg, start the turn from base to final at the proper time, and control the gliders ground track to ensure a safe landing at the predetermined touchdown point.
