SGS 2-33 with Student & Instructor

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

2-33 with student & instructor. You are the instructor on this flight with a student who is almost ready for solo. As part of the training you have let the student get himself into a poor position. The glider is now 1 m SE of airport at 1100 ' on a SE heading. You have finally gotten the student to realize that he needs to turn around and head back to the field. The student performs a left hand turn to a heading of west. You realize the student is planning on heading back to the IP to then enter a right hand pattern for runway 18.

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

T-2:30 1.0 miles SE heading west, 60 mph 1000’ AGL

T-2:00 0.5 miles SE turning right onto downwind at 875’ AGL

T-1:30 over S end of runway at 750’ right turn started to enter downwind

T-1:00 opposite touchdown at 550’

T-0:30 on base leg

T-0:00 touchdown on runway 18
