5) In flight
Every phase of flight has its preferred harness position:
In thermals and during transitions close to the terrain, use a more upright position in order to see obstacles more clearly and observe information coming from
below.
In thermals and transitions near cloudbase, live with the air, forget the ground and observe the clouds. In strong turbulence, sit upright, and pull your legs in
towards you. Use the abdominal and lumbar muscles whilst applying pressure against the main straps with the outside of the thighs in such a manner as to
anticipate and control roll movements.
To improve piloting efficiency, try to find different ways of using your harness which can have an influence on the quality of the turn: turning your shoulders,
swinging your hips, crossing your legs, using inverse roll to make a flatter turn etc.
Each pilot has their own perception and their own techniques to improve piloting efficiency. Be curious, try new things.
6) Landing
Is the most delicate stage of the flight.
