Course content

The aim of this course is to get an introduction to hike & fly and learn more skills so you can do it by yourself in the future.

We’ll try to do at least 1 hike & fly a day with maybe a rest day in the middle of the week where we’ll just fly normally. The hikes can be between 200 and 1500 meter depending on everyone’s fitness/fatigue. If after the hike & fly there’s still time left it’s possible to do some normal flying on nearby sites if the conditions allow. Here we can continue working on our skills.

• Mindset needed to walk back down – be prepared to walk down.
• Preparation – What online tools to use – Meteo predictions – What gear to bring.
• How to locate take off and landings.
• Meteo observations at take off.
• Experience the feeling of hike & fly in a safe and controlled environment.
