Default Cloud Flying

2 methods I teach.. the straight thermal method..which
is basically, receive your clearance, O2 on and thermal
up into the cloud….when dealing with larger and high
developing Cu’s, the seek & go method is preferred.
This is basically fly through the cloud, exit the opposite
side, complete a 180 & reenter. You will & can a gain
a good amount of altitude with this method, and no
turns are used……some secrets…..
