What to expect

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, it’s about mastering the art of successful cross-country flying and broadening your flying horizons.

Theory course "Introduction to cross-country flying"

We will work on the basic requirements for cross-country flying. Our lessons cover everything from the basics of cross-country flying to advanced techniques and flight planning. In addition to the right choice of equipment and flying instruments, we will cover topics such as thermal utilization, (valley) wind systems, flight route planning, weather analysis and development as well as safety strategies – everything you need to achieve your own flying goals safely and confidently. We will show you proven planning tools to plan individual routes that are tailored to the participants. We will use an example to discuss how we can best manage the route:

  • Where are possible thermal hotspots on our route?
  • Where are the key points?
  • How much height do we need for valley crossings?
  • And where can I land?
  • and much more…

Cross-country flight days

As soon as we have answered all your questions, we will take off together. You can also register for the cross-country flight days, which are the perfect complement to the theory lessons. The best thing about this course? The community. Meet like-minded people, share experiences and learn from each other. There’s nothing better than meeting up with other pilots, flying together and growing together.
