The terrain in the Apennines is not exactly inviting for landing in many areas. Almost every suitable, flat area is urbanized, the valleys are V-shaped and in the middle there is a narrow brook.

Fields, if available, are on steep slopes. Thus, it is very difficult to find a suitable landing site. W hat happened? About 30 km from the finish line, I was still at high altitude and made the decision not to take any risks and start the engine. It was just a training day, where no points had to be collected. I could easily come home with that. I thought about how to use the remaining energy most effectively and turned knob to start the engine. Nothing happened! I still had enough time. After a short look around, I saw no less than 10 possible landing fields — all in mountainous terrain, all on the steep slope!
So I took off my sunglasses and tried to get the engine running. At first I thought I did not have enough energy to extend the pylon and turned off the navigation display. I rebooted the system and tried cranking again. My options dwindled.. After another 15 km, only two suitable fields were in sight. Very steep, but slightly larger than the previous ones. Since the further course of the valley was not visible, I decided to land on one of the two yellow-brown fields next to a farm and a paved road.
Unfortunately, it turned out in retrospect that this field was bumpy, which added to the other difficulties! However, it was prepared landing site with smooth grass! In Italy the situation was different. The surface of the field was rough and there were trees in the approach sector. Fast airplanes need even more speed!
The plane jumped at a steep angle loosing speed almost in seconds. With no speed it was not possible to change anything in the situation, I saw the treetops below me again. You wait! Amazingly no more damages were seen. Later I found out that instrument panel pulled two screws from the floor and belly was cracked. Very little for such landing.
Not recommendable! My situation was worse. The same moment I hit the ground I felt a strong backache and had big difficulty getting out of the cockpit.
I lied down on the wing to ease it off few minutes, a bit of relief occurred, fortunately I was able to move and feel all my limbs. I c onsider it unlucky to hit such an uneven slope what was invisible till last moment. Looking from above waves, if have same colour are indistinguishable. Fortunately, the GP14 is a light and very strong glider, so it helped to get away with only a small damage.
Most important finding: even if the engine still worked at the start, it can fail at any time. It was the case with my landing in the Apennines. After the engine cooled, it did not start again because the pylon did not touch the limit switch. Electric or digital systems fail instantly without any prior signs of wear or malfunction so it would be better to have two sets of electronic gear.
We use two loggers. A fter a hard landing in the Apennines Sebastian Kawa worked up his experiences and shared with us! Dec ide early and have more options ready Must land in mountainous terrain, it is usually very fast due to lack of options. Faulty starts of auxiliary engines worsen the situation dramatically.
Therefore decide early, because: landing out with engine always need more height than without! Upslope landings can be trained! There are gliding schools that fly regularly on places with inclined landing strips. Uphill landing can be trained. Yo u need more speed! A gradual reduction of the speed a few meters above the ground, which is often seen on flat airfields, does not work when approaching the steep slope.

For pull up, to intercept path parallel to the ground, you have to keep your speed until last moment and flare with more energy to fly about 1m above the ground uphill. When practicing on moderate uphill strips if you have speed sufficient to hover about 0. We have very often windy conditions so more speed is required also to avoid sudden drop of speed and as a consequence falling dawn from few meters.

The speed reduction when flying uphill is fast. So it is not necessary to be fixed on the lowest meters of the field because it is more dangerous to catch obstacles in the approach than roll on some at the end. In most cases there should be no problem to slow down and stop when going uphill. Airbrakes — carefully! Adjust altitude, the point where you want to stop.
Then: set the flaps, retract the airbrakes, accelerate — to be able to pull up in front of the rising slope. Many gliders tend to sink a lot even when the airbrakes are only slightly opened. They loose speed instead of zooming up. With less flap, I would not use L -flaps for such approach as they produce more drag than lift, and a higher approach speed, this problem can be avoided! There are planes, for example PZL , which can not flare enough to end parallel to any uphill slope without help of the engine.
Curved landing! In the worst case, you would have to remain in the cockpit squeezing wheel brake until help arrives. Av oid obstacles! E ach approach over obstacles is more demanding than on a flat plane, as the interception angle increases further. Gr een in front of brown — and not mixed! In addition, in a re-cultivated field, the probability of encountering invisible trenches, hills and stones is reduced. Plowed fields are good too but brownish grass means it was not used for a long time and there are tall weeds. The competition rules should allow for a short test of the engine even if you used it for take-off.
Even if an engine was used to start, he may well refuse service on the next attempt. It was the same with my landing in the Apennines. After the engine cooled, it did not start again because the pylon did not touch the limit switch! The yearly height and CC- event in the Scottish mountains, the 22d version, was not blessed with good weather. After I left you they continued with small tasks, mostly with no finishers, but the last valid task number 3 had one. A pity!!!! On one day they reached End of January return trip!

Also Bitterwasser sends a lot of gliders via Germany. On the first weekend in September they were packed with sophisticated suspension systems. Just six meter single-seaters fit into a container thanks to good planning. Via Hamburg and Antwerp the journey of the seven containers starts to Walvis Bay. The freighter is expected there at the beginning of October — in time for the new flying season in Namibia.
From ….. The Schneider family were very influential in developing the sport of gliding in Australia over two generations. Harry was a life member of the GFA and will definitely be missed. From Japan ; Nice soaring weather last week in Japan and they used it. Takeshi shared some pictures from the weather and the field. Most airfield in Japan are situated along a river on the other side of a dyke. I have been in the past at 3 of them, one was Itakura. They flew from the set km and had to land in a paddock rather late, but loved every minute.
Pretty good autumn weather there!!!! CU next Wednesday! Cheers Ritz [with a light brain concussion and a dizzy head ….

Fuente still has km. In September containers are leaving again for Africa and Australia, for those who love to fly the year around. Both parts from Africa and Australia have been suffering from immense drought. Still some comps NOW as well.
