Dave,
You should be able to find examples in any of the more popular x/c soaring books out there. But I would suggest using a navigation system that assists you with this calculation. You have a 302; add a PDA with GlideNav II or SeeYou Mobile or WinPilot or XCSoar. These programs know the elevations of your landing points, your glider's polar, and use current soaring conditions (wind and MacCreedy) to figure out in real time what you can get to, over your choice of safety altitude. Flying x/c becomes much, much easier with a system like this, especially with higher winds. -ted/2NO |
