Espace 3D cross-country course

Organizer: Espace 3D Parapente ↗

A cross-country course by Espace 3D for autonomous pilots who fly regularly in thermals and want to learn distance flying. The instructor chooses the site and the day's goal according to the pilots' level and the conditions, flies with the group and retrieves it after the flight. Each day starts with preparation: equipment check, gathering weather and aerological information, choosing the launch and strategy; the flight is followed by a debrief. Usually there is one quality flight a day. Flying takes place around Lake Annecy, in the Bauges, in the Combe de Savoie and elsewhere in Haute-Savoie; the course is demanding in energy and commitment, groups are limited to six pilots, it is paid per day and the school provides a radio.
