This lecture is part 1 of a two-part series presented by Eric Carden that discusses how to find thermals – from thermals marked by gliders, birds, clouds, etc. to deciding where to go for the greatest chances of finding an “unmarked” thermal. This lecture discusses many thermal-finding topics – but none of them to any great level of detail. This lecture series contains a fair amount of thermal theory, which you can store away to help you make better sense of the complex scenarios real life presents.
This is the 5th webinar in a series that focuses on thermal and cross-country soaring covering practical beginner-level to advanced material presented by Eric Carden.
