Progression course
Paragliding Academy winch towing course at Agathazell
Organizer: Paragliding Academy
A two-day winch towing course with a pay-out winch at Agathazell gliding airfield below the Grünten, about twenty minutes from Oberstaufen. Licensed pilots are scheduled for about 20 tows, ten duties as launch marshal including training for that role, around three hours of theory with a script and the school's internal theory and practical examination. Launch and landing fees are included and tow releases can be hired. The modern pay-out winch gives soft tows. Students training for the A licence can join on request, for example when the weather rules out mountain flying.
