Swiss Alps Gliding: Chasing Clouds over Switzerland

[@nathangrimes641]

Nice flight. It’s nice to have an explanation of what you are doing.

[@ronaldglider]

glad you liked it!

What a truly lovely journey. If I had the stomach to join, you would have a cheerful passenger!

[@ronaldglider]

Better cheerful on ground than sick in the air...

Beautiful! I enjoyed seeing your glider on the inserted map. Very interesting to see where you are.

[@ronaldglider]

Thanks for your feedback..!

Ronald, wunderbarer Flug. Die neue Software der Insta360 One X2 Kamera fängt die alpine Schönheit viel besser ohne Artefakte ein.

[@ronaldglider]

Danke! Ich überlege mir eine X4 zu kaufen...

@@ronaldglider The flight is up on my channel: MSFS 2020 Soaring | Flugplatz Mollis/Säntis Mountain and Surround. Unfortunately links don't last very long in comments section. Thank you for your very king interest, mate!

Welcome!

Nice video. How often do glider pilots end up landjng at places other than their intended airport due to lift problems? Also when you are riding on top of a mountain ridgeline are you constantly switching which side of the ridge to find the best lift?

[@ronaldglider]

Thanks! I do not know what the average is - I have 1020 landings, and 3 of them were unplanned outlandings. One of them was due to a thunderstorm that prevented me to return home and I landed at a different airfield (later I got a tow back home). The remaining two we trailered back home. Over the ridgeline, I am always on the sun/wind side (although that may be hard to see in the video).
