Concept of the Soaring Site Survey...
Based on the Swedish Soaring Federation
mandatory Site Survey program
which resulted in a decrease
in the glider accident rate in Sweden
by more than 50%.

Soaring Site Survey...
• You must invite the Soaring Safety Foundation to conduct a survey.
• A soaring site cannot “fail” a site survey - it is a observation of glider operations.
• A one-day visit includes an evening Safety Seminar to discuss concerns with all of the club members.

Common Observations
• Launch Point OrganizationGround handling & securing of gliders.People & equipment along the takeoff line.
• Club Instructors – Inconsistent training:no syllabusno student progress checks / pilot recordsdifferent checklistsdifferent landing pattern shapesdifferent stall/spin recognition trainingCFIG renewal by non-glider method
![Page 28: Site Surveys Presented by Burt Compton Concept of the Soaring Site Survey... Based on the Swedish Soaring Federation mandatory Site Survey program](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e715503460f94b706fe/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Common Observations
• Towpilots – Diving after glider release,
aggressive flying, rope management, taxi routes.
• Club ManagementPoor record keeping, especially pilot currency.
Not establishing authority of a Safety Officer.
• Rescue Equipment / Emergency Plan

Common Observations
• Strange checklists, if any.
• Flying high above the towplane wake.
• Flying “square” patterns in relation to landmarks on the ground.
• Lack of awareness of new procedures / sources of training and safety information. Insisting on doing it the “old way”.
