Avoiding First Flight of the Year Blues

摘要

For the vast majority of us who fly gliders, we do so for pure sport, and are consequently inclined to fly only when conditions are favorable. For many, seasonal flying is the norm; meaning that we park our gliders for the endurance of long, cold winter months, and which also means that come springtime, goofy things tend to happen when we first venture out to fly once again. Sadly, some of those goofy things result in Undesirable Aircraft States (UAS's) which lead to incidents, and accidents.
