The Karwendel Triangle - the classic near Munich to fly a 100 km triangle according to FAI rules from Brauneck. I myself have tried it 3 times, but unfortunately have failed early so far. I hope, with good planning, that it will be in 2023.
The flight from the Wallberg, close to the lake Tegernseee, to Koessen is a challenge for XC beginners, or pilots like me which are new in this area. I guess the key point is to cross the Inntal valley, but I think on a good thermal day the task is manageable.
With ThermiXC, Bernd Gassner has provided us paragliders with an excellent tool to plan longer distances. How I want to increase my efficiency in cross-country flying with the help of this website in combination with other sources such as books, YouTube videos, magazines, blogs, etc., I explain in this post.
One of the disadvantages of XC Track installed on the smartphone is the lack of hardware buttons. One solution is to use a remote control. You can find out which remote control I would like to use in the future in this article.
Cross country videos are a great thing, but it's better if you know where the pilot is flying. And it would be even better if certain data is displayed in the video, such as altitude, speed, etc. You can find out how XC Track works in this article.
Anyone who suffers from presbyopia like me has a problem reading the instruments in flight. How I solved the problem, I describe in this post
