Many pilots, and not only cross-country flight experts, now use XC Track, installed on their Android smartphone, to keep themselves informed about important data during the flight. One of the great strengths of XC Track is at the same time one of the great problems, namely that XC Track is very flexibly configurable. I would like to explain my concept for XC Track and how I configured my XC Track page layout in more detail in this article.
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.
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?
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.
