No disrespect intended but I disagree. If entering at the same angle as this animation , all you need to do is follow the pressure on the right side of your wing , You will locate the core in one or two circles. Not six! You kept turning away from the lift. Best regards Dale
Hi Dale, you are absolutely right with your statement! If you have a lot of experience, you will find the shortest route as you mentioned. This example will show you how the way to the thermic can go if you are not yet a professional. And remember that the pilot does not see the thermals, as you did in the animation :-)
@@Abgeflogen Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I know you can not see the thermals hehehe, that's why its all about the pressure, its even faster than audio from vario. You feel your way in to the core, following the pressure also makes it safer. Entering the thermal at the angle as in this animation you will immediately feel more pressure pulling up on the right side , so , by starting a gentle turn to the right (including weight shift) will locate your thermal much faster, you don't have to wait 5 seconds (on this particular example) you already know left side is weaker and right side is stronger , so start your turn. Feeling that pressure is still on right side you tighten your turns to core the thermal.
Actually no, this video shows exactly the opposite of what you should do for centering the thermal. When lift is increasing u need to fly straight, and when lift decreases turn circle. That way u will always fly towards increasing lift
@@svetre87 I also had this mentally backwards, but your animation really helped me understand how this is supposed to work. Still, there's no substitute for more experience ... which I need to get.
If the wind is stronger, of course! This is just a simple model and you don't know from which side you hit the thermic ;-) Almost better to hit the thermic from luv side if you can see or just know it (clouds, terrain ...).
Clairement une mauvaise méthode ! On ne conserve pas le même angle de virage quand l'ascendence augmente. On élargit le virage quand le vario augmente et on resserre quand ça faiblit. 7 tours au bord du thermique pour trouver le centre c'est clairement pas rentable ! 😂
Oui, il faut jamais relâcher l'appui sellette non plus quand le vario bippe moins. Sinon le Vario reçoit de mauvaises indications à cause de la ressource.
