Mountain Wave Soaring - Planning and Preparations

About this FAASafety Wings Course

An on-line glider ground school session updated and opened to the public concerning the upcoming Mt. Washington Wave Camp. An excellent way to learn a little about mountain wave soaring and the preparation(s) associated with it to be safe. A terrific review for pilots that attend the Mt. Washington Wave Camp. 

For almost 70 years, glider pilots have been drawn to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The remote location and rugged terrain make it unlikely that a permanent soaring site will ever be established near Mount Washington. However, pilots still make the effort to go there, and all who have experienced the Mount Washington wave have shared with each other, and with those who came before them, the pioneering spirit.
