0 viewsOct 7, 2026
The higher you climb, the faster you fly through the air for the same indicated speed, so the never-exceed speed comes down with height. And what cold and thin air ask of the glider and of you.
What you learn

- Read a never-exceed speed table that comes down with height
- Keep water ballast, airbrakes and canopy free of ice
- Know the EASA oxygen rule and the airspace up high
