Flugschule Engelberg

• School

Flugschule Engelberg offers a one-day training-hill taster introducing the wing and low-level launch, steering and landing practice. Equipment is included, and the day can lead directly into the basic course, with the taster fee credited towards it.

The basic course is structured as two days on the hill followed by two days of high flights. Theory accompanies practical exercises, and the move to high flights depends on student readiness. The school recommends short gaps between stages and completing the basic course within six weeks. All equipment is provided; cable-car transport, food and the training-hill fee are separate.

The following Brevetkurs develops experience at different flying sites and prepares students for examination from a minimum of 50 high flights. Each flight has an assigned task, with initial direct radio guidance gradually giving way to more independent flying under observation. Theory, practice and a training checklist are included. The package covers twelve months and up to 90 high flights; this describes its scope rather than promising qualification within a fixed period.
