A properly compensated
audio vario speeds up the process. Go up on a good day and practice going out and back into thermals.
Some varios are more intuitive than others.
Our club has two LS-4s, the newer one with a Cambridge, the older with an LX5000. My first flight in the Cambridge equipped glider was a 300 km. attempt that ended in a field 30 km downroute
I had another vario that was making cheerful noises while I was going down
Audio is extremely important as it keeps your head
out of the cockpit looking
out -- as I was reminded last week
