Trip and XC course Bright, Australia

12 - 20 March 2010

This is a very special, annual event: The Wings & Waves Team takes a group of PG 2 pilots to our favourite thermalling place in Australia for a week’s thermalling and XC course.

Bright is a wonderful alpine town in the NE of Victoria and offers great flying sites, a great sceneary, reliable conditions and lots to do when you are not flying. Beginning of March is the best time of the year.

During the course Eva (NZ Champion) will teach you how to thermal, how to handle turbulence, how to use thermals efficiently, how to plan XCs and much more.

Here are some photos from the 2009 trip.

This course typically lifts the pilot to the next level of skill; from coastal pilot to confident thermalling and XC pilot. A large number of pilots joins this trip more than once, which is the perfect indicator that it is a great and valuable trip.

Register your interest now and we will keep you posted!

The price is an indication only until we have numbers confirmed. It includes high quality instructions for the week, van transport from and to Melbourne Airport, transport during the week and accommodation. You still need to budget for food and drink - since we often cook or do BBQ, that is not very much. The flight to Melbourne is about $450-$600 depending on when you book. We want to take about 10 people with us.

We need confirmed bookings by 20 December 2009!
