Is that a normal final/base approach for a glider? Seems like it was super early.
Also, crazy that gliders have glass cockpits now

It looks crazy how he's approaching the runway at a 90 degree angle like 400 feet from the ground, but I couldn't tell you. Not a real pilot.
That instruments panel does look interesting though. Man I'd love to fly in one of these one day, it's so cool.
I felt like I was watching myself play Flight Simulator.
Ye that final was a bit odd. Keep in mind when we join the circuit in a glider we are a lot closer to the runway as compared to power aircraft. I'm assuming also he probably wanted to land sooner rather than later.
Yeah I could believe that's a normal glider approach. Just looks weird having only powered flight experience
