My review and outlook for June. The topics are: Airspace awareness; SERA avoidance rules - basic rule; The Möllvalley Triangle; The Hardest Route - From Crash to Comeback; XC GUIDE: The classic FAI triangle of the Northern Alps - Flying in the Karwendel and GoPro falls from 1100 metres over ground and keeps recording.
A look back at the highlights of May and a brief outlook for the coming weeks. This time with Hammer Days; Flying into the TRA; Hike and Fly Events; Brauneck Paragliding - Trying to go big 298 km FAI; Understanding thermals: How bubble theory helps you make better decisions and Red Bull X-Alps 2025 Team Training German 1 Markus Anders.
What do I have to bear in mind from an aviation law perspective if I want to fly from A to B? What sources, preferably first-hand, are available to me for this? How can I carry out my planning from a very pragmatic point of view? Oliver Thomä provides answers to these questions in a seminar without too much "ballast".
What do we need to bear in mind when approaching airspace that we are not allowed to fly into? What altitude should you set on your aircraft? What should you do if you have inadvertently flown into a prohibited airspace? Georg Bube, an experienced cross-country pilot, will try to answer all these questions in a presentation.
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.
Every pilot who wants to take part in air traffic is obliged to call up the current NOTAMs as part of their personal briefing before the flight. Paragliders tend to neglect this, but of course this obligation also applies to us, at least if you want to go on a flight. But what options are there for retrieving NOTAMs and what do you need to bear in mind? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these methods?
