Progression course

1. DAeC Gleitschirmschule groundhandling and refresher weekend

A two-day weekend on the practice slope for pilots who want to improve their launches, learn reverse inflation or feel at ease again after a long break. Two instructors lead it and set individual priorities according to each participant's level. It starts with the aerodynamics of inflation and launch, then revisits all the basics – laying out the wing, checking lines, clipping in and buckling up and the starting stance – followed by laying out on rough ground and in tight spaces, the tulip launch, different forward and reverse inflation techniques and a ground slalom. A short closing flight from the Buchenberg is planned.
