XC camp
Two-level cross-country course (Aerodream)
Organizer: Aerodream Parapente
Five-day cross-country course at Aerodream in two levels. The introduction level aims at first flights of 20-60 km: flight preparation from forecasts and soundings, choosing a take-off by wind direction, managing height on transitions, navigating by terrain and landing away from the planned field. The advanced level targets flights over 100 km: rear-riser steering, speed bar, using a GPS vario, flight strategy and managing energy on flights of several hours. Routes run from the Lake Annecy area into the Aravis, the Beaufortain, the Semnoz and beyond depending on the weather, and the instructor picks each day's route to suit the level. Each instructor looks after two or three pilots with individual radio guidance; own equipment is recommended and a GPS vario can be borrowed.
