This thesis addresses the issue of outlandings of glider pilots in Slovenia, where complex terrain and limited suitable fields pose risks, especially for less experienced pilots.
The aim is to identify and assess areas suitable for outlandings, thereby supporting safer decision-making in practice.
The methodology included analysis of existing databases, field inspections, and classification of surfaces by difficulty (green, orange, red). Additional methods involved glide range calculations from selected points, case studies, and personal flight experience.
Results show that suitable fields are unevenly distributed: eastern Slovenia offers more opportunities, while regions such as Kočevje, Kozjansko and parts of the Primorska are much less favorable. Gorenjska stands out as particularly demanding, with few and short landing options, significantly increasing pilot risk. The thesis contributes to improved safety and pilot preparation when planning cross-country flights.
