Simple tips for everyday pilot life, Part I
It is often the little tips that make pilots' lives easier. I would like to present three of these simple tips here. If I think of more tips in the future, I will post them here.
Flightplan Moellvalley Triangle
A FAI triangle around the Kreuzeck Group. Start at the most famous take off in southern austria, flying along the river Drau, enter later Möllvalley and back to the Drauvalley.
Check paraglider trim
It has been known and discussed for a long time that a trimmed glider at best simply starts badly, but in the worst case it can even be life-threatening. But how can I check the trim of my glider myself?
Flightplan Karwendel FAI Triangle – Update
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.
Flightplan Wallberg to Koessen
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.
Create a Flightplan – Update
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.
