During last August I was 1 week in another club where
people had asked for help for an intensive ride session. Some other pilots were flying rides in others 2 seaters during the same time. The principle was short flights in the morning (time to glide back from winch launch at 400m, i.e. 5 min) and longer (~ 15-20 min) in the afternoon. The ground crew was very efficient by preparing the next passenger before the flight with an extra parachute before the landing. Nevertheless, my best day shows only 10 flights. The limiting factor was the retrieve time for the winch cables (2 cables only). During some morning flights, I lengthened the flight, as lift was already available and the winch was not ready. |
