Cross-country flight days<\/h3>\n

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

And the best thing about this course? The community. Meet like-minded people, share experiences and learn from each other. There’s nothing better than connecting with other pilots, flying together and growing together. <\/p>\n
