Podcast: Flying in wave
Posted by Geoff on 08 Feb 2011 | Tagged as: Podcasts
Flying in wave with Steve Hudson of the Derbyshire Flying Centre. Wave is a fairly common weather condition in the UK and can provide excellent and exhilarating flying, but it can also be scary if you don’t know how it works. While hang gliders have a lot of knowledge and experience of it, many paraglider pilots are unsure of flying in wave. In this podcast, Steve aims to explain how to assess conditions, get down, fly safe and have fun! 52 minutes. (February 2011)
