Where can you fly 100 or even 200 XC kilometres? What should I bear in mind? What equipment should you have with you? What skills should you have to fly such distances? How can I plan routes? What tools will help me to find the next thermal in flight? Questions upon questions, which I get to the bottom of in an interview with Ulrich Scheller, an experienced cross-country pilot.

In this article, I would like to explain in more detail how this works and what you need to bear in mind.

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.

The importance of ground handling for flight safety is emphasised time and again. It therefore made sense to engage Peter Cröniger, who, together with Simon Winkler, is further developing ground handling and the associated techniques, to provide us with further theoretical and practical training. Bodenlos e.V. organised a lecture on Wednesday and the practical training session with Peter on the following weekend.
