XC Flies Episode 3: Thermalling Part 2 – Temple Pilots Paragliding

June 10, 2020

Dear Pilots,

Love n Greetings,

We hope you enjoyed learning from yesterday’s Session on Thermalling (Part -1) of the ongoing XC Series.

It was amazing to start by sharing WOW Thermalling moments of pilots & thanks to the active participation, we covered lot of ground from understanding about Thermals, Types of Thermals, Thermal Cores, Thermal Sources, Triggers & Indicators to discussing various Thermalling Techniques, steps & plan to solid progression & moved onto learning about mental Mapping & Centring Techniques.

Thermalling’s a huge topic & we had to devote at least two Episodes to understand the basic concepts before we move onto Cross Country flying as this educational foundation will help us to understand & grasp what comes next, way way better.

In Thermalling Part -2, we will start with Centring Adjustments, Thermal Drift, Gaggle Flying, Thermalling Rules & Etiquettes, Common Mistakes, Exercises for Mastering Thermalling, Thermal Traps, Risks & Dangers, Understanding the Weather & Preparation details.

Please come with your questions, doubts & clarifications or you can write them as messages below & we’ll be happy to address them during the Session.

We also hope to use more diagrams, slides & videos to illustrate concepts in the forthcoming episodes.

We, Team NASA (Neenad, Avi & Sach Association:) cannot tell you how happy we are to see everyone in these Sessions making learning fun & enjoyable.

Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday, 10th June20, 6pm,

Touching Cloudbase,
Team Templepilots 🙏❤️
