“The aircraft taking part in the 2017 Abingdon Air and Country Show, suffered of an emergency landing accident at Abingdon Airfield. Engine mechanical issues to be confirmed. However, one eyewitness report states "the propeller was stationary" and that the pilot "...tried desperately to get some airspeed before he pulled up but momentum carried him down, it could have been a lot lot worse,his quick reaction and decision saved him". The pilot "...was almost at the [Runway]18 threshold end heading north. In front of him was the airfield boundary, after he pitched up for a half Cuban. It's difficult to say if he would have cleared the fence and hedge but he would have a higher ground speed which could have made things even worse"

The GLIDER Debrief™
A good pilot is always learning. A great pilot uses systems to ensure they are performing at their safest and best. The debrief is a wonderful way to help guide the post-flight conversation with yourself, your copilot, your student, or your instructor. Using the GLIDER™ acronym, pilots of gliders (and other craft) can follow the chronological process of flight and dive deeper into areas of proficiency and others that may need more focus.
