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?

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.
There are plenty of stories to tell about cross-country flying. One person who does this in great detail is Dmitry Balabanov. He reaches a large audience with his elaborately produced videos, which he uploads to YouTube. But it's not just his stories of cross-country flying, often from Roldanillo or Bassano, that he has to tell, there are also other aspects of his flying life that make him an interesting interview partner.
Chrigel Maurer's autobiography Der Überflieger is an exciting and very personal journey through the life of one of the best paragliders in the world. In this book, the exceptional athlete provides a deep insight into his experiences, thoughts and the development of his impressive success. The book is written in simple language, which makes it accessible to a broad readership, and is of great interest to fans of flying and adventure-seekers in particular. The book is only in German available
