30 tips for successful cross-country flying

#2: Bombard other pilots with questions

Some of the worlds best cross-country pilots are in the NOVA Pilots Team - along with people like you & me. Together we have collected the 30 most important tips for successful cross-country flying. Tip #2 "Bombard other pilots with questions!" is even important in more than one way...

One of our Team Pilots narrates: "In 2006 I was a complete zero at cross­country flying in comparison to the sky gods. But those very sky gods would say to me “Tomorrow is an epic day, you’ll fly 150 km.” And, of course, I had a few questions... So we discussed the route options, the crunch points, wind and weather development, a Plan B, a Plan C - and then I did indeed fly a flat triangle of more than 160 km.

Talking to other pilots, including some of the world’s best cross­country pilots, literally switched my desire for improvement to over­drive. Even today, I am never embarrassed to ask for advice. Whether it is about cross­country flying, some trivial question like where the local house thermal is or if there are any hazards. Bombard other pilots with questions! Asking questions is not a sign of weak­ ness, but it shows you are interested and willing to learn."

There's one more aspect to this, which we'd like to add: The principle of questions-are-always-welcome also applies when people ask you questions. Because some friendly advice can make all the difference.

PS: Thanks for the pictures to Fabian Gasteiger, Werner Luidolt & Thomas Hofbauer.
