Flugschule Markus Milz in Sonthofen in the Oberallgäu continues the 1. Oberallgäuer Drachenflugschule founded by Jürgen Rohrmeier in 1977. Since 2017 it has been run by flight instructor, tandem pilot and DHV examiner Markus Milz, and it has carried his name since 2020. The DHV directory lists it as an approved school for the A and B licences, tandem-pilot training and aviation radio instruction, and it has been a DHV SkyPerformance centre since 2014.

Training for the German A licence consists of a basic course and two follow-on courses (F1 and F2) ending with the exam; they can be booked separately, as a combined course, or all together as a sixteen-day compact course, optionally with new equipment in the Rundum-Sorglos package. Training starts on the school's Hinang and Bachtel slopes near Sonthofen, and high flights take place at the private Gehwinde site, the Hörnerbahn near Bolsterlang, the Nebelhorn and other Oberallgäu sites. For A-licence pilots the school offers B-licence training, performance training and four-day Allgäu-Tour trips around the Allgäu and neighbouring Tyrol.

The school sells paragliders, harnesses, reserves, variometers and other equipment, including beginner and hike & fly sets. Tandem flights are offered from the Hörnerbahn, the Nebelhorn, the Mittag near Immenstadt, the Grünten and the Gehwinde site.

Allgäu-Tour: discovering flying sites with Flugschule Markus Milz

Flugschule Markus Milz

The Allgäu-Tour by Flugschule Markus Milz is a four-day tour for newly licensed pilots and those who have not flown for a while who want to discover more flying sites in the Allgäu and neighbouring Tyrol or around Bregenz while improving their technique. In a small group of at most eight pilots, instructors guide flights by radio, introduce thermal flying and flight technique, use video to improve launches and landings, give weather and site briefings and revise simple manoeuvres and descent techniques. Video analysis is available during the training, so flights can be reviewed afterwards. One shared dinner is included.

B-licence training at Flugschule Markus Milz

Flugschule Markus Milz

B-licence training (B-Schein) at Flugschule Markus Milz prepares A-licence pilots for independent cross-country flights and outlandings; the B licence is also required for some launches, such as the Nebelhorn summit. The theory part consists of 15 hours of lessons in air law, meteorology, navigation and flight technique with access to online learning and runs as a weekend block several times a year. By arrangement, the practical part can be completed on the school's high-flight courses in the Oberallgäu or on its flying tours: it consists of 20 confirmed high flights at two sites, ten of them longer than 30 minutes, flight exercises according to the DHV syllabus and a documented cross-country flight of at least 15 km under the school's flight order. The school documents the training and submits it to the DHV.

Basic course towards the A licence at Flugschule Markus Milz, Sonthofen

Flugschule Markus Milz

The basic course at Flugschule Markus Milz in Sonthofen is the first part of training for the German A licence. Over four days, after a short theory introduction, students practise wing control, running, inflations and landings until they handle the wing safely on the ground, followed by at least fifteen solo flights supervised by an instructor and guided by radio, gradually gaining height. Training takes place on the school's slopes near Sonthofen: Hinang, with graded slopes and a five-hectare landing field, and the Bachtel slope. Basic air law, meteorology, flight technique and emergency procedures are taught alongside. Rental equipment, the training record book and course notes are included. The first two days correspond to the taster weekend, which counts towards the course, and an extra day can be added if the weather requires. High-flight training follows in the F1 and F2 courses.

Follow-on course F1: high flights and theory (Flugschule Markus Milz)

Flugschule Markus Milz

The first follow-on course (Fortführungskurs I) takes Flugschule Markus Milz students from the basic course to high flights. Depending on the weather, flying takes place at the school's sites in the Oberallgäu; the course includes up to fifteen radio-guided high flights with up to 700 m of height difference and 20 hours of theory in meteorology, air law, aerodynamics, equipment and emergency procedures according to the syllabus. Students get access to online learning, so theory can also be studied from home. When flying is not possible, theory is taught, so full days should be planned. Uplifts at the Hinang training site are included, mountain lifts are not; students without their own equipment can hire it for a fee. The second follow-on course (F2) with the exam follows.
