From today, 14.11.23, Michael Stoltze will take over the Flight Office. He takes over from Stefan and Dominik Senger.
Michael has been coming to the flight office in Bitterwasser for years because he really enjoys the job. So this year, too, he has taken on the long journey and his annual leave to organize the flight schedule.
He is most looking forward to the team, the guests and their many great flight results.
The SSN (Soaring Society of Namibia) website states that pilots holding a SPL license together with a valid LAPL medical may fly gliders with European registration in Namibia. Previously, the more complex Class 2 ICAO medical was required. The SSN point out that no definitive, valid statement can be made for neighbouring countries such as Botswana or South Africa.
For glider owners: Please check with your insurance company that this is in accordance with your insurance contract.
Although the season in Bitterwasser seems to be coming to an end in mid-January, the weather is at its best. Pilots from all over the world enjoy impressive thermals, breathtaking cross-country flights over 1000 km and a unique community.
