Glider flight from Schänis
First of all, as soon as your pilot releases the tow rope, a feeling of serenity comes over you. In fact, you’re free to move through the air at the whim of the thermals. You immediately feel that sense of freedom. There’s no sound except the rustle of air on the glider’s cockpit. The glider moves majestically and smoothly, and your pilot enjoys playing with the thermals; our fuel, you might say. What’s more, the spring and summer seasons lend themselves particularly well to gliding.
Sequence of a glider flight
First, we place your glider behind a tractor aircraft. A tether connects the aircraft to your glider. Then the GO is given and you start riding on the grass track. After a few meters you’re already flying while your tractor plane is still taxiing along the runway. Then the plane rises and the climb begins. At around 1500 m altitude, your pilot releases the tow cable and frees the glider from all constraints.
