If you can go round in circles, you can go XC!

Our Thermal & XC Clinic will improve your overall knowledge and skill of mountain thermal flying. During the clinic some pilots will make their first cross country flights, while others perfect their technique. We cover numerous topics, giving you the foundation and knowledge to extend your XC flights. Each day we will have classroom lecture and discussion followed by flying together on a XC flight. After flying we will discuss our flight, and view our tracks on Google Earth.
