Top 5 Tips to Help You Soar Faster and Farther
 
So you want to fly faster? The goal of this webinar is to share 5 simple tips aimed at helping pilots fly faster and farther, to get the most out of each soaring day. All 5 tips are aimed at cross-country soaring in general. They are glider- and goal-agnostic – it doesn’t matter if you fly a 1-26 or a JS-1, and they’re equally relevant for badges, records, OLC, racing, and just keeping up with (or beating) your buddies. They relate to preflight preparation, flying techniques, and postflight analysis, and draw on hard-won insights gleaned from training and flying with some of the best coaches and soaring pilots in the world.
