Did few hours of ground handling. We started with reverse and eventually switched to forward. IMG_1931 IMG_1930 Both Darren and Mark have very good control. Maciej stayed home as it was 50/50 as far as ability to kite.
Went to the field but it was flooded and winds were close to 35 km/h. Could not do anything.
Really bad weather. Constant rain. We have watthced couple hours of PPG videos.
Too windy and raining – no training
Please students, you need to pass ULTRA exam so you know what you can and can not do. Student pilot permit is not a license – any flights not supervised by instructor are illegal. See: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/parachute-calgary-airport-rcmp-1.4075841
Rain stopped at 5 pm so at 6 we were back to ground handling. We had perfect wind for reverse and then later for forward but grass was not completely dry so the forward inflations later on were quite difficult. I had to use wineyard to dry one of the canopies and later hang them […]
Another early morning. Started at 6:30 am because we knew that wind will pick up very quickly. Only managed to ground handle with small training paragliders for 1.5 hrs then it started to rain and wind started to gust to 40 km/h VIDEO
