Underneath the wave, below the laminar layer, you get a turbulent layer of rotor which can be incredibly violent, like frequent negative gees causing various loose items to get all floaty in the cockpit violent. The really fun thing about wave flying in a glider is that you often get to TOW through that region, Why don't you release there? In the Alps, the upward side of the rotor is usually used as the staircase into the wave. Saves a lot of money, as towing directly to wave altitude tends to be expensive. |
