A winch launch provides a quick and powerful start for this classic glider. The Schleicher Ka 8 handles the steep climb perfectly as it leaves the grassy field at Luftsportverein Bergische Rhön Lindlar. Seeing such a smooth takeoff reminds me why soaring is so special. @jules_flights captures these aviation moments with such a great eye for detail. ​#gliding #aviation #sailplane #pilotlife | Glider Airstrip

Winch launching is the most common launch method in the UK. It is fast, low cost and quiet and is how most people learn to fly. The glider is attached to a long cable, which is wound in by a powerful 8 litre V8 engine, which pulls the glider into the air gaining over 1000ft in around one minute.
