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.
Every paraglider should be aware that power lines, compared to other ropes (e.g. material rope way), harbor additional dangers, namely electric shocks. In this article, you will find out why an accident pilot who is in contact with an overhead power line should not be helped immediately and what else needs to be considered in the event of an electrical accident.
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
How do I determine the correct take-off weight? An important factor to be safe in the air.
