You got it right when you said that you monitor whether the intended landing
field is rising or lowering in your windscreen...

I always have a paper chart in the glider and I know how to read it.


Understood, but when heading into a headwind or a cross wind, are you doing
these arrival altitude calculations for the nearest airport in the cockpit?
Ground school had us pre-calcualate these, but conditions change, and if off
course, nearest airport changes also.

Thanks
