During the 3rd British Sports Trophy in Montclar, France Brett Janaway gave a talk on how a thermal looks and how the triggers work. It was a very interesting talk, sharing his observations of the thermal flying from a pilot that has been flying at the highest level for over 30 years.
Let me know in the comment section, what do you think, have you had similar experiences?

Thanks for all the comments guys. The talk has been the result of many years flying, analysing, and presenting to groups over the last 3 decades and is one of the most enjoyable talks I give. The feedback has always been great. I look forward to meeting some of you at a future SRS or Naviter Open event for more such talks between the racing and fun. Brett

Third factor is the warm air is warming the air next to it. More 3d than you’ve explained. Progressively heating and cooling in convection and lapse. All happening at the same time. Rising, sinking and influencing each other all the time. Great video and great explanation. Just wanted to add to the theory. Thank you for posting.

Saw your video @FlyingKarlis and want to run this by you. This could be another way of understanding a thermal. Think of thermal as a lava lamp. Those bubbles that are going up in the lamp….think these are bubbles of warm air rising up. The only diff could be that the warm air bubbles are larger and probably closer together giving the effect of one large bubble. Temp in these bubbles could vary based on the terrain. And these warm bubbles (relative to surrounding) keep getting generated and go up. As they go up they are increasing in size due to lower pressure as the bubble rise up. Does this make sense Brett? Thank you for your video @Brett. This is Shake from USA. @TemplePilotsIndia.

Thanks for sharing! Great lesson. Can someone pkease write the 2 options he mentioned for 3D display the flights? (Sorry Eng is not my first language, I try to Google but didn't find them, gor sure I can't spell them 😂) Thanks

@bendoherty3129 7 ай бұрын

Some software made by navier. And the 2nd one he mentioned was sportstracklive I believe. If you find the exact part of the video and tag the timestamp I'll go back and listen for you if you'd like

High tension power lines always seem to make the nastiest thermals down low (usually as you're desperately trying to scrape over those exact power lines) 😮

@FlyingKarlis 11 ай бұрын

Thermals tend to be more nasty down low in general.
