The most common form of soaring is thermal soaring in which the pilot soars over the countryside taking advantage of the rising warm air over fields warmed by sunshine or over cities to regain altitude for additional soaring. On flights away from the soaring centre, a recovery crew normally follows on the ground hauling a trailer to pick up the plane and pilot when he has landed. Though soaring is basically an individual-participation sport, there are competitions for maximum height during a flight and for maximum distance on a one-way flight, and speed contests held on triangular courses.
