expect this
On the practice slope you make short flights a few meters high. It is physically strenuous but if you have a good condition, then you can make 10 to 12 starts in a day, so you are making a lot of progress! The first day you start at the bottom to get used to running the slope. If you have the kite under control, you can start at the top. And have you landed at the bottom? Then a fly size comes to pick you up and brings you and your kite up with the quad up again - that saves baking energy!
At the end of this internship you can handle your flying material well and you can start, fly and land on the practice slope independently. Now you can continue with the follow -up course (DFA2) or with winches and mountain flies (DFA3).
Content course :
- 4 days of lessons on the practice slope
- Ground exercises and video analysis
- Theory lessons aerodynamics, weather, flight technology and material
- Safety training (including first aid, emergency procedures)
- Personal feedback and observe each other
- Attention to Human Factors and Personal Development
- Practicing with school material or with your own kite (DFA2/3)
Program and daily schedule
On Thursday evening we start with an introduction to the ramps, the flight and material. Friday, Saturday and Sunday we start at the cherries of the day to be able to practice in quiet air.
After flying we evaluate the videos and after the common lunch you can opt for an afternoon nap or an excursion. In the evening we sometimes make some flights. If we do not fly, it is early to go to bed or nice at the campfire ... It is a wonderful place in the middle of nature where we can go all our own way.
- Arrival, course briefing, exploring site and theory
- Building material, teaching flights, video evaluation
- Visit flights Neumagen and other excursions
- Theory about mountain flies, weather and safety
Planning
Every lesson block on the practice slope runs from the evening from the first day to 1:00 pm on the last day. This way everyone has enough travel time. Each lesson block has a reserve date in case it is disappointing again. So keep both dates free in your agenda!
Are you following a beginner's course dragging or are you going to the mountains? Then this internship is mandatory.
Including and exclusive
For beginners, the course is including the use of school material. The course at follow -up level (DFA2) is basically exclusive of school material: you follow this internship with the material with which you will fly in the mountains. If you still want to use school material, you can reserve that with your instructor.
Also inclusive is a liability insurance against third parties. It does not include KNVVL membership, other insurance policies and a contribution for lunch. Ensure good travel insurance yourself with unfalger coverage. You can camp on the field, see the location page for more information.
Tip!
Are you an experienced pilot but have you flown a little too little in the mountains? Fly a few days and are again confident at the top of that mountain.
Green tip
Carpooling is fun and cheap and better for the environment. A month before the internship we put you in contact with the other participants so that you can make carpool appointments.
