Top 5 XC tips
1. Master your equipment and techniques. Climbing is the most important! Practice it, especially in weak
conditions and don’t be afraid to bomb out. Attend safety and XC courses and learn to fly your glider safely
along its full speed range.
2. When circling in a weak thermal, cruise and explore it for better lift. When you hit strong cores,
tighten up!
3. Know the theory and try it out! Imagine thermals and when you find them, look down and think...
Where is it coming from? What was the trigger? Look around, Look around, Look around! Use every
sign of luck and don’t hesitate to take it.
4. Plan your XC at home and let your imagination free. In this way, you will have a mission on the take-
off and you will not be taken by surprise at cloud base, not knowing what to do next.
5. Fly together with friends and have fun! Share exciting experiences, ask questions and don’t forget
the first rule of aviation - always have an alternative option or plan B.
