Glider Aviation

Prior to taking off, pilots must provide their name as well as the tail code to the  departures manager (at the "start bus"), preferably not over their aircraft radio!

Transportation of gliders to the take-off point using private vehicles is only possible in consultation with the operations director!

• Water hook-ups are located on the west side of the main building as well as next to the hangar.
• Taxiing to take-off point 04 exclusively via the north taxyway. Exercise caution when crossing the runway!
  
• The responsible pilot must insure that no equipment is left in the starting area (dollies, support wheels, ...).
• The glider area is north of the runway.
• The standard take-off point is 04 (except if otherwise directed by the flight operations manager and in a strong westerly wind).
• Pilot must activate the hook release independently! The tow altitude is announced by the towing pilot in increments of 100.
• Gliders below an altitude of 300 m may only fly north of the airfield. Pilots wishing to cross the airfield from south to north with an altitude less than 600 m must provide radio notification!
• Gradually reduce altitude within the indicated position by circling in a clockwise direction.
