As for me, I'm more preferred the glide path and altitude where there's landable fields, since I'm hang glider for 15 years. Being hang glider pilot, I always establish both glide and altitude where I can land if I cannot find a lift. I guess this is a good habit for me.Comment on "Tandem HG Pilot who's Passenger Fell to her Death (not hooked in) pleads Guilty."
