Weather reading and how frequent you fly
Does anyone have a good video or source I can learn how to read these damn weather apps (like windy) and learn what is suitable for flying and what isn’t?
Also thermals. Add that to the list if it’s not already on one of these apps with the wind please.
And also how to find TFRs and restricted airspace. I thought airports would be avoided at all costs but as I’m watching these videos, most of them are taking off from airports lol.
* I’m a noob trying to learn about the sport as much as I can before buying and heading to training *
I keep hearing people say sunset and sunrise and basically the majority of flying time. Then what’s the point of having bigger fuel tanks that last 3+hrs if you are mostly flying for that 1 hour before and after?
And how are people racking up all these flying hours while maintaining a job lol. I work 4days a week 12hr shifts (7am-7pm) so while I do have 3day weekends- I doubt I’d be flying during my work week.
And is mid-day flying that bad? I plan on doing very chill cruising purely as a stress relieve tool and I highly doubt I’ll be switching away from my A-class wing (probably a Mojo Pwr2).
So is mid-day flying mainly bad because most people aren’t staying on these “safer” wings?
————- Please don’t roast my ignorance. I’m really trying to learn this stuff and get into this amazing hobby but I can’t get concrete facts to specifics like this and I’d really like to learn this weather stuff so I can begin watching it now even WAY before I get into the sport
Thank you all!
