Pulpit on Super Ball Day!

[krryerson]

We were a few pilots at Pulpit yesterday, on Super Ball Sunday.
This was a short noticed trip and there were some miscommunication, so we never posted it on CHGPA.
My apology for that.
In any case, among all the pilots that came, only I flew and it was “Big Time Work”, with a lot of wind gradient during landing. Flew for 41 minutes and did not wanted to go higher than 3024 MSL.
Did offer other pilots to fly first, but they wanted me to go first.
If interested, check video from yesterday at Pulpit.

Thanks for the video Knut! Was there a 'fun-factor' for your flight? I bailed because of the cloud cover that was forecast, and the velocity.

PS: Nice work on the transitions in the video!

It was okay and probably a very good training flight.
But, on minute 2:51, during landing, thought I was “Under” the wind gradient, lowering the speed little bit. But, there it was, on 2;52 and dropped like a rock.
Had I had more speed on 2:52, would probably had a better landing, but lost flight speed and some control.
No harm to the wing or myself, so all good; but not pretty.
