Szkoła Latania EXTREME

• School

Szkoła Latania EXTREME teaches at Mirosławice airfield near Wrocław. The first stage is published as four to five days, progressing from ground handling and short hops to high tow-launched flights. A slope near Wałbrzych is also used when weather permits. Theory covers meteorology, aerodynamics, equipment and air law.

The second stage continues with three days at the airfield, developing piloting skills, building airtime and preparing for the examination. In both stages the school supplies a wing, harness with protector, reserve parachute, helmet, radio and liability insurance. Participants arrange meals, accommodation and travel themselves; the website describes a typical group of four to six, with a maximum of ten.

For more experienced pilots, cross-country seminars include launch transport and retrieves, radio guidance and daily GPS track analysis. The stated entry expectation is at least ten hours of thermalling experience. The school separately offers SIV, requiring competence in tow launches and unassisted landings.
