XC camp

Small-group XC coaching in Bassano

Organizer: Paragliding Center Bassano ↗

A six-day cross-country week in Bassano del Grappa for up to five pilots who already have basic thermalling skills and want to fly further and make better decisions on their own. Each day starts with a weather briefing and route planning. Guide Giuseppe Mastromichele flies with the group, gives real-time radio guidance on thermals, lines, low saves and decisions, and explains the reasoning behind his route choices. After the flight there is a track analysis and debrief. On unflyable days the programme covers weather analysis, route planning, flight analysis or theory; a set number of flying days is not guaranteed. Accommodation, transport, the local shuttle and retrieves are not included; the guide helps coordinate retrieves within the group.
