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 &#8211; 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:    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Where are possible thermal hotspots on our route?<\/li>\n<li>Where are the key points?<\/li>\n<li>How much height do we need for valley crossings?<\/li>\n<li>And where can I land?<\/li>\n<li>and much more&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cross-country flight days<\/h3>\n<p>As soon as we have answered all your questions, we will take off together.
