OFS alpine introduction for pilots

Organizer: OFS Paragliding ↗

OFS Paragliding's five-day alpine introduction is aimed at flatland and winch pilots, pilots with few flights and newly licensed A pilots. Depending on wind and weather the group visits four flying areas in the Allgäu, Tyrol and South Tyrol and makes two or more flights a day. Experienced instructors with local knowledge guide the pilots at alpine sites and explain mountain weather development, the features of each site and how to behave in nature and in the mountains; there is a joint pre-flight briefing, an after-flight debrief and radio support. The flights count towards the foot-launch rating. Groups have five to eight pilots, and the school can arrange accommodation and car sharing on request.
