Beginner course

OASE high-flight course with the A-licence exam (Oberallgäu)

The Höhenflugkurs completes OASE Flugschule's training for the German A licence. Depending on wind and weather, students fly from different mountains in the Oberallgäu, mainly the school's home sites, the Hörnerbahn near Bolsterlang and the Nebelhorn above Oberstdorf, where it uses five launches and three landing fields. The course includes at least twenty alpine high flights with 300 to 1,100 m of height difference, in which students refine launches, landing approaches and manoeuvres (pitch, roll, figure-of-eight, big ears) under radio guidance and gain experience of different sites. Theory should already be complete from the Aufbaukurs; the school adds a weather lesson and an exam question session. At the end of the course students sit the A-licence theory and practical exams with an independent DHV examiner. Rental equipment, launch and landing fees, liability insurance and local transfers are included; lift tickets, accommodation, meals and exam fees are extra.
