Valley winds, sunny faces and convergence

How the mountains work through the day: slopes that face the sun, valley winds and convergence, with the Enns valley as the example. And the landable fields you plan the flight around.

What you learn

• Pick the slope the sun is working on at each time of day
• Use the valley wind, and spot the slopes it makes work
• Find convergence where two flows meet over a range
• Plan the flight from field to field with a 20:1 margin
