Flugschule Tegelberg is a paragliding and hang gliding school with its office right in the valley station of the Tegelberg cable car in Schwangau, close to Füssen and Neuschwanstein Castle. It is run by Flugschule Tegelberg GbR with partners Sebastian Schweiger, Tim Grabowski and Manuel Hammes. The German association DHV lists it as an approved school for A- and B-licence training and tandem training, for both paragliders and hang gliders.

Training for the German A licence takes place on the Tegelberg and the Buchenberg: it starts with a taster day or a basic course on the training slope and continues with a high-flight course and theory up to the exam. Both stages can also be booked together as a compact course. For licensed pilots the school offers B-licence training, individual coaching and cross-country seminars, and it runs instructor-led flying trips, for example to Italy.

The team flies tandem flights from the Tegelberg by paraglider and by hang glider. The school has its own equipment shop, carries out regular glider checks and repacks reserve parachutes.

Flugschule Tegelberg A-licence high-flight course

Flugschule Tegelberg

The high-flight course follows the basic course and leads up to the exam for the German A licence (beschränkter Luftfahrerschein). Flying is mainly from the Tegelberg and the Buchenberg in the eastern Allgäu; cable cars take pilots up, and the school is based right in the Tegelberg valley station, so the way back to launch is short. Practice covers clean launches, flight exercises and manoeuvres, landing approaches and first work with thermals, all under radio guidance. Theory comprises 20 teaching units: air law, meteorology, equipment, flying technique and handling unusual situations. A standard edition lasts six days, some weekend editions are shorter; the school advises allowing roughly three to four weeks for the whole licence training. According to the school's terms the exam can be taken from age 16. The course can also be booked together with the basic course as a compact course.

Flugschule Tegelberg basic paragliding course

Flugschule Tegelberg

The basic course is the first step towards the German A licence (A-Schein) at a school based right in the valley station of the Tegelberg cable car in Schwangau near Füssen; training uses the Tegelberg and Buchenberg sites in the eastern Allgäu. The course usually lasts four to five days, and the first day doubles as a taster day. It starts on flat ground with preparation, launching and steering drills, then moves to the training slope: at least 15 flights with 30 to 100 metres of height difference, launching on your own, flying straight, changing direction by up to 90 degrees and landing in the target area, all with radio guidance. Ground handling, aborted-launch practice and partner checks are part of it, as is theory on aerodynamics, weather and safety. Hire equipment is included. The course ends with readiness for high flights, which continue in the high-flight course; both stages can also be booked together as a compact course.
