Thermal Technique Training – 28.05.–30.05.2027

Our "Upward Bound" Seminar: Read, Find, and Master Thermals.

Where we are is up! Get ready for the ultimate thrill: thermal flying.

Let's go: In the thermal technique training, you will learn all the skills needed to perfect your flying technique in updrafts. You will learn to "scan" the landscape for thermal spots, read and find the thermals, center them cleanly, and "core" them optimally. All this always with a focus on maximum possible safety and the best performance.

With this knowledge and skill in your back pocket, you will then also master challenging flying weather days. And you will also be perfectly equipped for cross-country flying – also as preparation for the B-license.
