"It is better to stay on the ground and wanting to be in the air than the other way around".
On one hand Alpine Foehn was forcasted, on the other hand not too much wind in the Garmisch area. I decided to give it a try... Every second of this flight was intense and I am glad that I was flying on my EN-A wing. Some lessons learned today.
As some people like to make accusations based on pure speculation I am adding additional statements:
No, the purpose of this video is not to brag.
Yes, I was aware of the forecasted Foehn, but not necessarily about the situation in the air at this time and location.
No, most of the time I consider a lot more than simple black/white logic to decide if I get in the air on a specific day (for example "any kind of Foehn condition" equals "not flyable"). I can understand if people like to use simple rules to make their decisions easier and mitigate as much risk as possible. But maybe don't assume or even postualte your own approach as a general rule for others.
Yes, in this case I made a wrong decision to fly. Though I am happy being able to have learnt a lot from this flight and the subsequent debriefings without consequences to my health that day.
