With over 5000 hours air time, this course was created and is taught by Mark Leavesley – British Team Member
Good ground control technique is essential for launching and landing in strong winds. It can save you from being dragged, ‘hoovered’ up, or dumped. A few minutes ground handling with your wing flying but your feet safely on the ground can give you a feel for the air. How strong is the wind? How gusty? Does it feel smooth or turbulent and ‘gnarly’? Are you convinced that you will be comfortable and safe flying your wing in these conditions?
This course will cover the following tasks:
- Learn the basics
- Setting Up
- Building the ‘Wall’
- Controlling the glider overhead
- Moving about on the ground
- Bring the wing safely down
- Slope/Top landing in strong winds
