Who among us has not despaired when trying to read and understand the ICAO chart? Especially with complex airspace structures, such as those found around airports, it can be very nerve-wracking trying to read and understand the ICAO chart. Ultimately, it's also a question of safety; it can happen very quickly that you overlook an airspace. Furthermore, it is not always easy to visualise the airspaces in three-dimensional space.
In this article I have already reported on the rescue throw training, which is organized and carried out by Bodenlos e.V.. But training without learning something from it doesn't really make sense. That's why I've summarized here once again the findings described by my club colleagues in the club's internal forum, most of whose texts I have taken over from the original. I have supplemented the texts with my own findings.
The Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) is actually an important source of information for those who want to participate safely in air traffic. However, I can't remember it ever being discussed in the theory lessons for a paragliding license. It is worth taking a look at the AIP, as I have explained in the following article.
Bassano is well known among paragliders, but what is less well known is what the airspace structure around Bassano looks like. Up to now I have hardly paid any attention to the airspace structure, but have flown as close to the slope as possible and not too far into the flat. However, I would like to change this and take a closer look at the airspace structure.
The well-known paraglider pilot Pál Takáts was in Munich not to report on his participation in this year's X-Alps, but to give a talk on acro flying. The lecture was organized by the Bodenlos board, many thanks for this. The event took place in the Wirtshaus zum Isartal. The following are excerpts from my transcript of the lecture, without any claim to completeness.
AustroControl offers an interactive, free online map. However, the help is very simple, so in this article I try to give a short introduction with the most important information for us paragliders.
