Learn to fly with Flugschule Bassano

Organizer: Flugschule Bassano ↗

Year-round pilot training with Flugschule Bassano in Semonzo below Monte Grappa, starting at any time by arrangement. It begins with getting to know the equipment, an independent pre-flight check, inflation technique and ground handling. From day one, instructional tandem flights focus on launch preparation and the launch itself, flight path, different speeds, turns, landing pattern and flare landing, and later on route planning and first thermals. Students then complete at least 35 solo flights from different take-offs to different landing fields in varied weather, with an instructor guiding them by radio at take-off and landing. Practical training is combined with topic-based theory units and regular online lessons. The course ends with theory and practical exams before an independent board, held in German, Italian or English; the school trains for the Italian VDS-VL certificate and the German DHV licence.
