What to expect
\n<\/h2>\n

Bassano del Grappa is one of the most beautiful and varied flying areas in Europe – mountainous slopes and relatively gentle slopes at the same time – a combination that combines “mountains and foothills of the Alps\/flatlands”: ideal for flights for pleasure pilots, budding cross-country pilots and experienced XC pilots.<\/p>\n

Our trip is designed to introduce novice cross-country pilots step-by-step to the secrets of successful and safe XC flying, while experienced pilots are encouraged with specific tasks and opportunities to maximize flight time without KM constraints.<\/p>\n

We focus on each individual and their abilities and provide personalized tips and feedback. By means of a questionnaire and interview, we pick you up exactly where you are and accompany you to your goals on this trip so that you take home an instructive and eventful memory. <\/p>\n

Flying areas: <\/b>
Bassano offers several launch sites on the Monte Grappa massif. However, we will also explore launch sites in the region to get to know the diversity of the individual areas. <\/p>\n

How do we do that<\/h2>\n

Before the trip, you will receive a questionnaire about your flying experience and your goals. We also analyze some of your flights in advance so that you get a clear assessment of your current level. The week on site builds on these findings. <\/p>\n

After the trip, you will receive a personal debriefing with all your notes, tips and feedback on your goals. We will provide you with this as a digital handout (PDF). It contains an initial assessment, an evaluation of your XC week and recommendations for your further flying development. <\/p>\n

This will be an instructive, safe and unforgettable week of flying for you. <\/p>\n
