Marcel Dürr had already proven in 2017 that the so-called Lenggries Glacier Triangle is doable with a sport class glider. But is the route also manageable with the standard class as an FAI triangle?
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.
The 2nd attempt to fly the Mölltal triangle. Would I succeed this time?
Acro pilots have special requirements for their favourite flying area. Getting up quickly, the highest possible working height, acro over water would not be bad either, to name just a few of the pilots' wishes. Gabi Fonck has taken the trouble to compile a table of acro paragliding areas that more or less fulfil these special requirements.
A FAI triangle around the Kreuzeck Group. Start at the most famous take off in southern austria, flying along the river Drau, enter later Möllvalley and back to the Drauvalley.
The Karwendel Triangle - the classic near Munich to fly a 100 km triangle according to FAI rules from Brauneck. I myself have tried it 3 times, but unfortunately have failed early so far. I hope, with good planning, that it will be in 2023.
