Thermal and flight-technique training with Flugschule Edelweiss in Meduno

Organizer: Flugschule Edelweiss ↗

This six-day DHV performance training in Meduno is aimed at pilots who are new to thermal flying or returning to it. Mornings start with a practice flight, midday is for the thermal flight and evenings can bring soaring above the wide meadow launch on Monte Valinis. During thermal flights one instructor flies with the group and the second guides pilots by radio from launch; launches and exercises are reviewed in an evening video session. The programme includes site and hazard briefings, a harness set-up check, weather briefings, improving circling and steering with inner and outer brake, reverse-launch training and practical exercises for the German B licence. Every participant gets a radio, arrival and departure days are flying days, groups are limited to ten pilots and the school books the accommodation.
