Are you ready to take the next step after your first experience of thermal flying on your local mountain? The cross-country seminar and cross-country days are perfect for pilots like you who want to extend their skills to longer flights. It’s not just about staying in the air, but also about mastering the art of successful cross-country flying and broadening your flying horizons.

We recommend that you complete Introduction to Cross Country Flying – Theory before attending the flying days.

Decision about the flying day: We take you to a weather and location briefing via Zoom on Friday evening at 8pm. After we have already worked out the basics and possible routes in our online briefing and all questions are answered, the final briefing takes place on the day of the flight directly at the flying site. We determine the final route and set off to fly. A detailed debriefing will take place online on the following Tuesday evening.

And the best thing about this course? The community. Meet like-minded people, exchange experiences and learn from each other. There is nothing better than connecting with other pilots, flying together and growing together.
