Cross Country Training Weekend (and pizza!)

A weekend of skills development and fun. Some flying mixed in with debriefs, talks, demos and good humour.

Pilots wishing to advance their skills in cross country and/ or prepare for their first competition this weekend is for you.

All are welcome though, you may want a bit of a refresher or just get 2 days of organised flying as the season kicks off.

We are focusing on building the skills required to get the most from a cross country flight, be it casual or competition. There will be a short task both days with a debrief session after the flight. Coaches and instructors will be available. Pizza night and movie as well. Topics include -

• task/ weather interpretation
• flight planning
• personal preparation
• get to know the trailer
• rigging and derigging brief
• oudie/ see you intro
• 1st Comp preparation (including crewing for someone)
• club policy/ etiquette for hiring gliders
