Keep an eye above your head

I would like to share with you what i have experienced during my last flight in KAS.

I returned accidentally into a cloud. How it arrived?

I was 200m under a cloud in a thermal when one of my friends me call(appeal) to the radio. I discuss with him 30 seconds, I continuous my bend and I am suddenly in clouds....

I had not raised the head during 1 minute: fatal error!!!

While I still see the ground, I turn to the sea (1st things to do : going far from the montain) then i use the external A erasers to go down, But it is not sufficient, I continu to go up and I do not see any more the ground, I am a little put under stress but I keep cool and remember myself what to do to go down more quickly: use B erasers. I pull on them (It is very difficult to keep them below: muscles and gloves mandatory) but that works! I go down and I see finally the sea under my feet.

It is a good lesson, I have to raise more often my head and remain concentrated even when I am all only in flight.

See you soon

Laurent

Thanks for sharing this Laurent. An important lesson for all indeed. Lucky that you are capable of using your muscle strength to manage the B-line. I wonder what I could do in such an instant... Gökçe
