Flugschule Oberbayern

• School

Flugschule Oberbayern offers a two-day taster near Penzberg that forms the first two days of its basic course and is credited if students continue. A short theory introduction leads into equipment preparation, launches, steering and landings, with radio guidance during flights. Taster and basic-course participants start together.

The published basic programme can be taken as a six-day block or spread across later training weeks. The school uses video analysis, slopes with up to 95 metres of height difference and groundhandling practice. It supplies basic-course equipment and publishes operational updates through its school ticker.

The following high-flight course is planned as a week-long stage, selecting the flying area according to conditions. Suitable weather is used for flying and rain for theory, working towards the A-Schein theory and practical examinations. Training can also include winch launching near Bad Tölz. At this stage, students may use their own, purchased or rented equipment. These durations describe course organisation rather than guarantee a completion date.
