OASE B-Ready training week in Bassano

A week-long OASE stay in Bassano focused on flying technique and thermals. Flying uses several launches around Bassano with roughly 800–1,200 metres of height difference. Mornings are for launch and manoeuvre training including descent techniques, followed by group thermal flying; the instructor may fly ahead and lead the more practised pilots by radio. With completed B theory and sufficient practical skill, flights can count towards the B-licence: the required manoeuvres, thermal flights over 30 minutes and the 15 km qualifying XC flight. Two instructors, transfers to the launches, daily weather briefings, site briefings, ground handling with mini wings on windy days and the chance to test current wings are included. Travel to Bassano, accommodation, meals and launch and landing fees are extra.
