high-altitude flight module

Service Description

After the basic training you are ready for your first high-altitude flight. The instructor will instruct you on the radio during your first high-altitude flights and guide you safely to the landing site. In the further course of your training, the radio will only act as a support. Otherwise, you will learn to move independently in the air and to master various flight maneuvers safely under radio control. To avoid any time pressure, we offer you the opportunity to complete as many flights as you want over a period of two years. Students who are ready to take their exams and have their own equipment can take part in a student exchange with other flying schools to get to know other flying areas Learning objectives: Safe take-off, landing and flying in a wide range of conditions.
