Rules on the ridge

Many gliders share one narrow band of lift next to a hill. What the rules of the air say and what ridge rules add: turning, meeting head-on and overtaking.

What you learn

• Keep a wingspan from the slope and your approach speed
• Turn away from the ridge every time, and know why
• Know who holds its line and who gives way head-on
• Overtake by the local rule, or turn back instead
