Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Ingo Renner OAM (1 June 1940 – 26 February 2022) was an Australian glider pilot. He won the World Gliding Championships four times.[1][2]
Renner was born in Hude in Germany and started gliding in 1954[1] at the LSV Hude (gliding club of Hude) of which he was an honorary member. In 1967 he moved to Australia and was granted Australian citizenship in 1971. He flew over 37,000 hours.
Occupation as a gliding instructor
Renner joined Bill Riley's[3] Sportavia Soaring Centre, a commercial gliding operation in Tocumwal (NSW), as flight instructor shortly after moving to Australia.[4] From 1974, he worked during the European summers as a flight instructor at the Oerlinghausen training centre and at its branches in southern Europe, such as at Sondrio.[5] Each year he returned to Australia for the southern summer. At the age of 65, he retired after working thirty seasons at Oerlinghausen.[1] In 2006, Sportavia Soaring Centre closed but the Murray Border Flying Club extended its operations to include gliding.[6] In 2009 the Southern Riverina Gliding club was formed, and Renner was its chief flying instructor for gliding.
Dynamic soaring
Renner is reported to have utilized the dynamic soaring technique with a Glasflügel H-301 Libelle at Tocumwal in 1974 and later flights in an Eiri-Avion PIK-20.[7]
