Advanced Training [cont’d]
nIntro to Competition Flying
–For first contest,
choose a friendly (for outlandings) site
–Knauff recommends
Welch & Irving _New Soaring Pilot_
nLanding Out
–Area immediately downwind of landing field is often
good thermal source–investigate this at an altitude high enough to take advantage of it
–Single most important
factor in off-field landings is obstructions–would take small field w/o
obstructions over large field w/ obstructions
