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".

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.

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 only in German available

In the article Checking paraglider trim, I already mentioned how important it is to regularly check the trim of your paraglider. At that time, the trim was checked with the help of a commercial provider, but for some time now it has been possible to carry out the check via the we-measure website. In this article, I would like to explain in more detail how this works and what you need to bear in mind.
