Does all that beeping in flight annoy you? It does Bruce Goldsmith, 2007 Paragliding World Champion and longtime competition pilot.

In his latest Icaristics in Cross Country 149 he reveals he’s been flying instrument-free for three years. He says:

He explains how flying without a vario can help you become a better pilot, and has some top tips for how to do it.
