Beginner course

Basic course towards the A licence at Flugschule Markus Milz, Sonthofen

Organizer: Flugschule Markus Milz ↗

The basic course at Flugschule Markus Milz in Sonthofen is the first part of training for the German A licence. Over four days, after a short theory introduction, students practise wing control, running, inflations and landings until they handle the wing safely on the ground, followed by at least fifteen solo flights supervised by an instructor and guided by radio, gradually gaining height. Training takes place on the school's slopes near Sonthofen: Hinang, with graded slopes and a five-hectare landing field, and the Bachtel slope. Basic air law, meteorology, flight technique and emergency procedures are taught alongside. Rental equipment, the training record book and course notes are included. The first two days correspond to the taster weekend, which counts towards the course, and an extra day can be added if the weather requires. High-flight training follows in the F1 and F2 courses.
