Organizer: Flugschule Aufwind ↗

A six-day practical and theory week for the Austrian cross-country rating (Überlandberechtigung) or the German B-Schein, held in Bassano on the southern edge of the Alps when the weather allows. Each day starts with a weather briefing and a flying task covering planning, tactics, map reading, navigation and airspace; tasks are then flown on site with radio contact and a thermal introduction. Theory covers meteorology, air law, navigation and flying practice and prepares for the theory and practical examinations. Departure is from Ramsau and transfers to the flying sites are included; accommodation and launch and landing fees are extra.
