An attempt at the study of decision making in gliding

Abstract

This paper concerns studies in sports psychology on decisional behaviours in gliding...  It is the duty of gliding instructors not only to teach the technique of the handling of a glider but also to teach how to use it, moving from a leap-and-bound behavior of permanent anticipation in which an informed (or also informative) decision plays the part of a self-organizing process.  Both safety and high performance will be the fruit of such teaching.
