Four Sources of Lift for Glider Pilots

This Ground School reviews the four types of lift available to glider pilots - Thermal, Wave, Convergence and Ridge. The dynamics and thermal dynamics are explained for each phenomena. We also cover the flight safety rules and guidelines for soaring in these various types of lift.
The recording is of an actual ground school given to an SSB student pilot who is excited to begin cross-county soaring this summer.

PV=nRT. As V increases, then T increases by tapping the energy in the surrounding air. That air cools. Stable air decreases 2C per 1000’
