Gliders are a bit like ducks, graceful in the air but awkward on the ground. Since they don’t move all that well once they come to a stop, it is important to promote the activities that will keep the active runway area clear. The appropriate behaviour on landing is to always exit the glider promptly so you can assess the situation properly. As a minimum the glider should be rotated perpendicular to the runway, as this will present the least profile to incoming traffic. Next it is important to clear the runway with a path perpendicular to it. Crossing an active runway at an angle leaves you exposed for a longer period of time. It is better to get clear and then move up the sides. Given a choice, clear the runway to the side the launch line is on. This also gives the clearest space to inbound aircraft, and saves re-crossing the active area again. Special care must always be taken when moving any aircraft, and sailplanes are no different.
