Hello everybody,
as a newbie, I often find myself wondering - how far a specific glider can be pushed - how far a specific glider can be pushed by *its* average pilot The second point is very important because, as obvious as it may sound, no glider "gets there" alone and it surely must be matched by a pilot with related skills. By the way, end-to-end, I thought that crunching & aggregating some yearly OLC data, I could find a relevant answer. As of today, on gliderreview.com every glider is shown along with its average flight lenght in the previous year. That allows for anyone to get both information: how far is any glider usually flown and, most important, how far outside of my comfort zone any glider is. Sure this is based on OLC-uploaded flights only, but still any statistics is based on sampling and OLC to me is a quite reliable and representative data population. In other words: crunching 14 thousands flights will be enough for me to get the idea. ;-) Enjoy! -- Jacopo |
