OASE basic course towards the A licence in Obermaiselstein

Organizer: OASE Flugschule ↗

The OASE Flugschule basic course in Obermaiselstein near Oberstdorf is the first step towards the German A licence (A-Schein). On a gentle private training slope a short walk from the school, students practise running with the wing, inflations, launches and landings while the height difference grows step by step; the course includes at least fifteen short flights with 40 to 100 m of height difference, all supervised by an instructor and guided by radio. It also covers an introduction to ground handling and about five hours of theory following the DHV syllabus: aerodynamics and equipment, meteorology, flight technique and emergency procedures, and air law. Rental equipment, launch and landing fees, liability insurance and local transfers are included; accommodation and meals are not. Groups have at most 16 participants. The course continues with the Aufbaukurs and the high-flight course and also forms the first part of the combined and compact courses.
