fast approach into the updraft and rapidly pulling the elevator for slower speed.

coordination of plane movements with other aircrafts circling within the same updraft.

alternate circling with opposite directions in different heights.

During final approach, the glider pilot realizes a very bumpy surface on a selected off-field landing site. What technique may be recommended for landing?

A gliding plane being airtowed gets into an excessive high position behind the towing plane. What action by the glider pilot can prevent further danger for glider and towing plane?

Carefully extend spoiler flaps, steer glider back into normal position

Initiate a sideslip to reduce excessive height

Pull strongly, thereafter decouple the cable

Push strongly to bring glider back to normal position

In case of a cable break during winch launch, what actions should be taken in the correct order?

Initiate 180° turn and land opposite to runway heading in use, decouple cable before touch down

Decouple cable, thereafter push nose down; at heights up to 150m GND land straight ahead with increased speed

Keep elevator pulled, stabilize on minimum speed and land on remaining field length

Push firmly nose down, decouple cable, depending on terrain and wind decide for short pattern or landing straight ahead

During initial winch launch, one wing of a glider plane gets ground contact. What action should be taken by the glider pilot?

Pull the elevator

Ailerons in opposite direction

Rudder in opposite direction

Decouple cable immediately

During airtow, the gliding plane exceeds its maximum permissible speed. What action should be taken by the glider pilot?

Extend spoiler flaps

Decouple cable immediately

Message to airfield controller via radio

Pull elevator to reduce speed

During airtow, the towing plane disappears from the glider pilot's sight. What action should be taken by the glider pilot?

Alternate push and pull on the elevator

Decouple cable immediately

Alternate turn to the left and to the right

Extend spoiler flaps and return to normal attitude

Before the launch using a parallel-cable winch, the glider pilot realizes the second cable laying close to his glider about to launch. What actions should be taken by the glider pilot?

Continue launch with rudder input on opposite direction to second cable

Keep an eye on second cable, decouple after takeoff if necessary

Decouple cable immediately, inform airfield controller via radio

Conduct normal takeoff, inform airfield controller after landing

A glider pilot has to conduct an off-field landing in a mountainous region. The only available landing site is highly inclined. How should the landing be conducted?

Approach with minimum speed, careful flare when reaching the landing site

According to prevalent wind, approach and land parallel to the ridge with headwind

Approach with increased speed, quick flare to follow the inclined ground

Approach down the ridge with increased speed, push according to ground level during landing

What color has the emergency hood release handle?

Green

Red

Blue

Yellow

During a winch launch, after reaching full climb attitude, the airspeed indicator fails. What action should be taken by the glider pilot?

Push elevator, decouple cable and perform short pattern with minimum speed

Continue launch to normal altitude, use horizontal image and airstream noise for pattern and landing right away

Continue launch to normal altitude, use horizontal image and airstream noise to conduct flight as planned

Try to re-establish airspeed indication by abrupt changes of speed during launch

What has to be expected with ice accretion on wings?

Improved slow flight capabilities

A decreased stall speed

Reduced friction drag

An increased stall speed

Despite several attempts, the landing gear can be extended, but not locked. How should the landing be conducted?

Keep a firm grip on gear handle during normal landing

Keep gear unlocked and perform normal landing

Retract landing gear and perform belly landing with minimum speed

Retract gear and perform belly landing with increased speed

An off-field landing with tailwind is inevitable. How should the landing be conducted?

Approach with increased speed without use of spoiler flaps

Normal approach, when reaching landing site, extend spoiler flaps and push down elevator

Approach with normal speed, expect longer flare and ground roll distance

Approach with reduced speed, expect shorter flare and ground roll distance

When landing with tailwind, the pilot has to...

compensate tailwind by sideslip.

approach with normal speed and shallow angle.

increase approach speed.

land with gear retracted to shorten ground roll distance.

When a pilot gets into a strong downwind area during slope soaring, what action should be recommended?

Continue flight, downwinds around mountains only occur shortly

Increase speed and head away from the ridge

Increase speed and conduct landing parallel to ridge

Increase speed and get closer to the ridge

A plane flying below an extended Cumulus cloud developing into a thunderstorm, the glider plane quickly approaches the cloud base. What actions have to be taken by the glider pilot?

Reduce to minimum speed, leave thermal lift area in a flat turn

Fasten seat belts, be aware of severe gust during further thermaling

Extend spoiler flaps within speed limits, leave thermal lift area with maximum permissible speed

Climb into thunderstorm cloud, continue flight using instruments

After landing, you realize you lost your pen which might have fallen down in the cockpit of the sailplane. What has to be considered?

Succeeding pilots have to be informed about that.

A flight without a pen at hand is not permitted.

Lighter, loose bodies in the fuselage can be considered uncritical.

Before next take-off, the cockpit has to be firmly inspected for loose bodies.

During approach for landing with strong crosswind, how should the turn from base to final be flown?

Turn with maximum 30° bank, carefully watch speed and yaw string, track correction after overshoot.

Turn with maximum 60° bank, carefully watch speed and yaw string, track correction after overshoot.

Maximum 60° bank, use rudder to early align sailplane with final track.

Maximum 30° bank, use rudder to early align sailplane with final track.

What heights should be considered for landing phases with a glider plane?

300 m abeam threshold and 150 m in final approach

100 m abeam threshold and 50 m after final approach turn

500 m abeam threshold and 50 m after final approach turn

150 - 200 m abeam threshold and 100 m after final approach turn

After reaching what height during winch launch the maximum pitch position can be taken?

Shortly after lift-off, provided a sufficiently strong headwind

From 150 m or higher, when in case of cable break landing straight ahead is no longer possible

From approx. 50 m while maintaining a safe speed for winch launch.

From 15 m while reaching a speed of at least 90 km/h

What has to be considered for the speed during approach and landing?

Wind speed and airfield pressure

Weight and airfield pressure

Weight and wind speed

Altitude and weight

What has to be checked before any change in direction during glide?

Check for free airspace in desired direction

Check for turn to be flown coordinated

Check for loose object secured

Check for thermal clouds

What is indicated by "buffeting" noticeable at elevator stick?

too fast, turbulence bubbles hitting on aileron

too slow, wing airflow stalled

C.G. position too far ahead

Glider plane very dirty

Before a winch launch, you detect a light tailwind. What has to be considered?

Roll until lift-off will take a little longer, watch speed

To reach more height, full pull on the elevator after lift-off

Roll until lift-off will be shorter since tailwind is pushing from behind

A weaker rated-brake-point can be used, load will be smaller
