Friuli flying camp in Meduno (Süddeutsche Gleitschirmschule)
Süddeutsche Gleitschirmschule
A week-long flying camp in Meduno, Friuli, on Monte Valinis, known for reliable laminar soaring conditions as well as thermals. The camp suits students starting their high flights as well as advanced pilots who want an early start to the season, and it can be used to log the flights required for the B-licence. Experienced instructors and guides run weather briefings and site introductions, flying technique training with supervision and video analysis, and coaching in thermalling, ridge soaring, top landing and ground handling. The school provides radios, transfers on site, launch and landing fees and books the accommodation. Travel, accommodation, meals and uplifts are paid separately; transport from Unterwössen in school vehicles is available. The school decides at least two days in advance, based on the forecast, whether the camp goes ahead.
