Hi All We have a GlideFast Cross Country Soaring Coaching course running at Narromine from October 27th to November 4th 2007. The course has been scheduled at the beginning of the season specifically to allow you to put the lessons learned into practice over the remainder of the soaring season. Plus the NSW State Comps are at Lake Keepit one week later so it can be a great warm up.
To register simply go to the Narromine Gliding Club Website: http://narromineglidingclub.com.au/index.php?option=com_content <http://narromineglidingclub.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&i d=54&Itemid=2> &task=view&id=54&Itemid=2 We have selected Narromine for its soaring conditions, availability of accommodation, proximity to the town, and the Narromine Gliding Club clubhouse has outstanding meeting room facilities, BBQ, and, free wireless broadband internet access available onsite with signal strength now reaching out to the glider tie down areas. We will have two and possibly three high performance two seat aircraft, (eg: Duo Discus, DG, etc), available during the course for one-on-one cross country coaching. Peter & Lisa Trotter developed the Glidefast courses to have the key characteristics of being: intensive, applied, focused, challenging and fun. They are designed to be small and intensive. The optimum number of participants is 8 and 10 is the maximum. Having a smaller number of pilots makes it possible to focus on individual performance. A leading principle in the choice of content for the GlideFast courses is the application of knowledge and theory. It is one thing to know what needs to be done to achieve high level cross-country performance, but it is another to know how to achieve improved performance. The GlideFast course starts with what it is that you need to being doing in the air and then provides explanation with theory as needed. A key objective of the GlideFast courses is to inspire pilots to be ambitious with their cross-country flying and to recognise the many possibilities to achieve. A persistent outcome of this journey to achievement, at all levels, should be fun and enjoyment. Hope to see you there, ROSS
