Question 540 - Operational Procedures - SPL - Sailplane Pilot License

Continue launch to normal altitude, use horizontal image and airstream noise to conduct flight as planned
Try to re-establish airspeed indication by abrupt changes of speed during launch
Push elevator, decouple cable and perform short pattern with minimum speed
Continue launch to normal altitude, use horizontal image and airstream noise for pattern and landing right away
