The “Soaring Flight Distance” product provides hourly forecasts for the next seven days, estimating the distance that can be covered in a glider flight based on atmospheric conditions. This index is essential for non-motorized aviation, enabling glider pilots to assess the potential for long-distance flights. Favorable atmospheric conditions, indicated by higher values, increase the likelihood of longer and safer flights. The forecast is crucial for route planning, helping pilots avoid areas with unfavorable conditions and optimize the efficiency and safety of gliding operations.
