weatherjack
aims to bring together many web sources of weather information on interest to glider pilots.
Daily forecasts from weatherjack are no longer provided but the RASP/Blipmaps computer programs are being continuously refined and are very good indeed..
Several human forecasters are now giving excellent gelding forecasts - see the soaring page for the links.
Background about Jack
I was a professional pilot
for over 40 years retiring on 60th birthday in Dec 1998.
Total hours all types 18,000
+
For roughly half those 40
years, I flew in the Royal Air Force.
It was either large Transport
aircraft or instructing. The final tour combined both - a C130 Hercules
instructor. |
|
I was then airline pilot
with Air UK (later KLM UK) flying types such as the BAe146, and inevitably,
was a Training Captain for much of the time.
My first gliding solo was
in May 1955 and the third (distance) diamond was completed in 1982 in a
Std Cirrus.
I called it a day at the
end of 2005 but continue to be active in non-flying gliding matters |
