RECCO - Be searchable, the saying that actually explains everything. The system is designed to speed up the search for missing persons considerably.

Bassano is well known among paragliders, but what is less well known is what the airspace structure around Bassano looks like.

The following are excerpts from my transcript of the lecture, without any claim to completeness.
