Hot Sport week in Bassano: cross-country preparation (B1)

Organizer: Hot Sport ↗

The week in Bassano del Grappa is the first part (B1) of Hot Sport's preparation for the German B licence. A-licence pilots train under an assigned instructor or supervisor at take-off and landing: precision landings with measured distances to the target, consolidating the reverse launch with video analysis, big ears with speed bar and turns as a descent technique, the fast figure of eight, and finding and using thermals on their own. The aim includes the first flights of more than 30 minutes required for the B licence. The group stays in a partner school's pilots' guesthouse with its own take-off and landing field, the school's minibus drives participants up to launch, and weather briefings and, when conditions suit, trips to other areas are included. The week runs alongside the A-licence high-flight week.
