Mark,
The idea
Of course Mike, however you need to be able to see the big picture, plenty of
crashes worldwide due to technology overload. I prefer to fly with F/Os who can
fly, luckily nearly all can! There isn#x27;t any technology in the world on a
stormy night with a 40kt crosswind worth more than sheer
For myself, I am not interested in any variometer cruise modes so am content
with my B400 and B40 in our second glider. Interestingly both Bruce Taylor and
myself seem to muddle along OK with sink tone disabled!

Flying in the best air allows for a greater sample (time and distance) of air
to pick the best climb.

Mark,
The idea is to fly in air that's going up. You should not be hearing
the sink sound much. If you are it is time to go somewhere else and
be in cruise mode while doing this when you won't hear the sink sound.

Stuart,
The eagle doesn't need to look at his vario. His ears detect the
pressure changes caused by climb and descent. There is also some
conjecture that some soaring birds can detect the nearby presence of
thermals by the infrasound (sound at frequencies lower than 20 Hz)
generated.

John H Cochrane has some very good articles on the web he has done some
analysis on deviations which can be found at

Othe good artciles can also be found on this page

Comparing some flights from a recent comp,
A glider that flew direct saw 4 knot average climbs and averaged 40:1
A glider of the same type deviated a lot, saw 6 knot climbs and achieved 50:1
The glider that deviated could fly an additional 26km and still be ahead.
That's a deviation of about

'The idea is to fly in air that's going up' is pretty good advice.
I was sitting opposite a world champion from Eastern Europe at dinner
when someone asked him What's the secret?
His answer was It's not so hard. You climb and you glide… but it's
best to do it in that order.
It is a technique

Better air within 30 degrees either side of track is worth deviating
for.

It might depend a bit on the performance of your glider. I fly a Foka 5
I have been very impressed, in a negative way, by the amount of height
lost in a large area of sink. Enough to see you on the ground. My very
recent endevours have been to find ways to avoid or get out of sink.

Adam,
Is the wisp stable, building or decaying? No-one has identified that so far.
Building, go. Decaying, pass it by. You should know unless you have been at
cloud base - watch the sky ahead, not just cloud by cloud.
I broadly agree with some previous comments, but also no-one has mentioned
Depends on the climb rates of the day and cycle rate. Short cycle and weak
climbs go for it, the whisps maybe woking well. Boomer day with big climbs
under big clouds dont bother.
