ASK-21 with Private pilot

It's 1:45 in the afternoon, a typical weekend of flight training activities. Your home airfield is a single 2000' x 150’ N/S runway (18 in use) with a 5 Kt wind from the SW. There is a E/W road 500’ North of the runway with Christmas tree farm North of the road. To the East is shopping center with single family dwellings East of there. To the South is a busy golf course and some farm land. To the West is a wooded public park. There is a farm field about ¼ mile SW of your field that is designated as an alternate landing field in the event of a low altitude rope break. All patterns are made to the west of the field to avoid overflying the homes to the east.

Each pilot has a different scenario. You may use any resources (radio, signals, etc) that are normally used. Your task is to fly the glider listed below through the described flight. A count down clock is used to coordinate the flight activities. The times listed below show the position and altitude of your glider or towplane at that time. Unless you act differently, your glider or towplane will be on the ground when the clock reaches T-0:00

ASK-21 with Private pilot. You received your private pilot certificate at this glider port 3 weeks ago. You finally managed to talk your girlfriend into going for her 1st flight. The launch was uneventful and you found some pretty good lift and sink in the area. You are at 2300’ about 1.5 miles SW of the field when you notice that she has stopped talking and appears to be getting air-sick. You stop thermaling and fly straight and level towards the airport. Your plan is to make the flight back as smooth as possible using spoilers to get down to pattern altitude. You will then enter a right hand pattern for a landing on runway 18.

Unless you act differently, the last 2:30 minutes of flight will proceed as follows:

T-2:30 1.5 miles SW at 2300’ AGL, 60 kts and head for field

T-2:00 1.0 miles SW @ 1500’ AGL

T-1:30 0.5 miles SW @900’ AGL

T-1:00 0.25 miles SW @ 750’ AGL on downwind

T-0:30 on base leg at 65 Kts

T-0:00 touchdown on runway 18
