PWC Aksaray

Review Task 1

Jean Morisetti, 17. August 2025
Première manche de la PWC à Aksaray, en Turquie. Peu de vent annoncé pour la journée, ce qui nous permet de partir à l’est le long de la crête, un itinéraire rarement emprunté en raison du vent souvent dominant dans cette zone. Les thermiques se méritent avant le start, et nous mettons du temps à prendre de l’altitude. Un groupe parvient à monter très haut, tandis que d’autres, dont moi, restons plus bas au moment du départ ; certains sont même encore au relief. La manche est lancée, et nous progressons vers l’est en longeant la crête, avec des thermiques parfois très puissants. Le choix des lignes joue un rôle crucial et permet de se positionner avantageusement par rapport aux autres. Nous quittons ensuite le relief pour traverser la plaine en direction de la deuxième balise. La masse d’air porte extrêmement bien, mais sans thermiques marqués : on zigzague à la recherche d’ascendances qui ne fonctionnent pas vraiment. Quelques pilotes poussent un peu trop fort et se posent, d’autres se retrouvent très bas. La bonne stratégie ici était de rester conservateur. Sur la dernière ligne droite, nous repassons sur de légers reliefs qui recréent de belles confluences. Les thermiques nous permettent de reprendre de l’altitude pour assurer le dernier glide. Finalement, les quatre Suisses bouclent la course : Kevin Philippe réalise une superbe 4e place, suivi de Gaël Frochaux (20e), Noé Court (31e), et moi-même, Jean Morisetti, à la 19e place. First task of the PWC in Aksaray, Turkey. Light winds were forecast for the day, which allowed us to head east along the ridge — a route rarely flown due to the usually dominant winds in the area. Thermals were hard to come by before the start, and it took us a while to gain altitude. One group managed to get very high, while others, including myself, were lower at the time of the start; some pilots were even still stuck on the ridge. The task got underway, and we flew east along the ridge, with thermals that were sometimes very strong. Choosing the right lines made a big difference and allowed some to position themselves better than others. We then left the ridge to cross the plains toward the second turnpoint. The air mass had great lift overall, but we didn’t find any solid thermals. We zigzagged, trying to hook into weak lift that didn’t really work. A few pilots pushed too hard and landed out; others got very low. The smart choice here was to stay conservative. On the final straight, we crossed over some gentle hills again, which created nice convergences with thermals that allowed us to climb for the final glide. In the end, all four Swiss pilots made goal: Kevin Philippe with an excellent 4th place, followed by Gaël Frochaux (20th), Noé Court (31st), and myself, Jean Morisetti, in 19th place.

Zwei-Klassen-Gesellschaft beim 55 km Task

Martin Scheel, 6. August 2025
Unten Bise, über einer Inversion SW-Wind, der am Nachmittag oberhalb 2500 recht stark wurde. So haben wir einen Task gesetzt, bei dem der Gegenwindschenkel zurück ins Goal tief geflogen wird. "Oben" hatte es Wind. Ok. Aber das war nicht das Problem. Weil von "unten" nach "oben" beinahe unmöglich war. Nun, klar, 30 haben es geschafft. Sie waren "oben" und konnten auf uns herunter schauen ... und 12 haben es auch geschafft. Aber das Durchbrechen der Inversion war wirklich eine Knacknuss. Der Schlüssel war: Am besten Ort konsequent optimal Steigen, immer wieder hoch und runter, aber nicht wechseln... Nur, dass die vielen Pilot:innen natürlich gestört und die Thermik durchmischt haben. Gratulation denen, die den Task heute geschafft haben: 1 Morgenthaler Stephan M SUI Ozone Enzo 3 Nilmo.ch 214.7 (Track im Screenshot) 2 Cox Steve M SUI Ozone Enzo 3 Chillout Paragliding 206.4 3 Monnet Frédéric M SUI Ozone Photon 205.8 4 Wicki Markus S.

A weak cold front will brush the north of Switzerland (in the Glarus region between 4 and 8 p.m.), but we will remain largely unaffected. Moderate thermals developing, 1/8 Cu with base at 12:00 3000 and later higher (according to calculations 3500). Wind: Increasing from midday, forecast for 2 p.m.: Ground valley wind (1500 m Disentis from 2:30 p.m. strong N!) 2000m west, northwest, 15 km/h 2500m northwest, 20-25 km/h 3000m west, 25 km/h 3500m west, 35-40 km/h 4000m west, 40 km/h We have to start very early and finish the task by 3 p.m. WEDNESDAY Lots of residual cloud in the morning, quickly dissolving and transitioning to flying weather. Warm air advection and lots of cirrus clouds, even medium-high clouds. In the afternoon, weak to moderate thermals. Thursday morning with some residual cloud, turning into cumulus clouds.

Weather report for monday, no training

Martin Scheel, 4. August 2025
NO TRAININGTASK TODAY (translation below) Eingelagert in eine nordwestliche Höhenströmung zieht am Montagvormittag eine okkludierte Front über Deutschland hinweg und ihre Ausläufer streifen den Osten der Schweiz. Am Morgen weitere Bewölkungszunahme und ev auch kurz etwas Niederschlag. Danach viele hohe und mittelhohe Wolken, ab Mittag von Westen her Auflockerung und am Nachmittag mit Nordwestwind freundliches Wetter. Auf 2000m hat es eine kleine Inversion. Darüber sehr viel und zunehmenden Wind. Wegen der Bewölkung nur schwache Thermik, 2/8 Cu mit Basis auf 2500-2800. 5hp Nordüberdruck Wind, zunehmend, Prognose für 14 Uhr: Boden schwache Talwinde 2000m Wind aus (Nord)west, 10-15 kmh 2500m Nordwest, 10-20 kmh 3000m Nordwest, 30-35 kmh 3500 Nordwest, 45+ kmh 4000m Nordwest, 50 kmh Wenig Thermik, zu viel Wind. Zudem ist es fraglich, ob gestartet werden kann (ev am Morgen - da lohnt es sich aber nicht). *************************** Embedded in a northwesterly upper-level flow, an occluded front will move across Germany on Monday morning, with its outer edges reaching eastern Switzerland. In the morning, further increasing cloud cover and possibly some brief precipitation. After that, lots of high and medium-high clouds, clearing up from the west after noon and pleasant weather in the afternoon with a northwesterly wind. There is a small inversion at 2000m. Above that, there is a lot of wind, which is increasing. Due to cloud cover, there are only weak thermals, 2/8 Cu with a base at 2500-2800. 5hp northerly overpressure wind, increasing, forecast for 2 p.m.: Ground weak valley winds 2000m Wind from (north)west, 10-15 km/h 2500m Northwest, 10-20 km/h 3000m Northwest, 30-35 km/h 3500 Northwest, 45+ km/h 4000m Northwest, 50 km/h Not much thermals, too much wind. It's also questionable whether we'll be able to take off (maybe in the morning, but it's not worth it).
