How Gliders fly - Part 3b Avionics overview

In Part 3b of our 4-part series, we introduce the radio and communication, the compass, the transponder, the FLARM and the ELT and give some extra infodabout those instruments. The video shows some virtualisations and animations mixed with real footage. Watch now to explore the magic behind soaring through the skies!

This video is not intended to impress glider-cracks, its a basic introduction improving flight knowledge - anyway, there is so much more to tell. Its a simplified view to the topic, but its vivid and fun to watch for advanced students or just people who wants to know how this gliding-things works.
