Products description
by Benjamin Bachmeier, mountain glider pilot, record holder and flight instructor
Circling in thermals above snow-covered peaks. Gliding along rock faces, carried by calm updrafts. Looking down on banks of clouds from an altitude of six thousand metres. The mountains are where perhaps the most fascinating sport in the world reaches its peak.
Peak Soaring brings modern mountain gliding home. Theory and practice are systematically rethought – accompanied by detailed illustrations, impressive photos and useful real-life examples.
Offers comprehensive explanations and solutions.
How do thermal and wind systems develop in the mountains? What is behind the legendary high alpine updrafts and foehn waves? Which flying tactics in the mountains lead to the best updrafts, and which strategies lead to the most exciting cross-country flights? How can risks be avoided with the right flying technique, preparation and equipment?
Covering these and many other topics, the book sets new standards for anyone who wants to learn, improve or even perfect their flying in the mountains. Complemented by exciting stories in his distinctive writing style, Benjamin takes his readers on an intense journey to his big dream: mastering alpine gliding.
