If you want to get to know Namibia in the first place, you can now hire one of these young experts who have already acquired great Namibia and long-haul experience. Their coaching offer is also aimed at experienced cross-country pilots who still need the fine tuning for the big routes, the icing on the cake for great success. The offer is also aimed at those who are looking for flying fun over the Kalahari without great performance ambitions. For them, "Flying with the Youngsters" offers supervised flying for stress-free flight enjoyment. And for all those who are only flying with LAPL-Medical or do not want to take an English language test anymore, Namibia becomes possible again with "Flying with the Youngsters".
The professional coaching is about getting to know the landscape, refining technical flying skills and the right tactics for fast and long flights with optimal time management for final approaches. The focus of meteorological navigation is cloud observation, finding supporting lines and convergences, in general permanent weather observation and analysis of the development. At the end the 1000 can be in solo flight.
For the program one or two Arcus M are available in Bitterwasser. Interested? Rainer Hog (hog@bitterwasser.com) will make reservations and arrange the junior trainers.
A dedicated website at fwty.de also promotes the program..
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.
The last season 2023/24 ended with a spectacular highlight for Dmitry Borovyk and Anton Minskii: on the very last day, they managed to fly around three declared turning points that cover an impressive distance of 1250 kilometers. This extraordinary achievement earned them the privilege of planting a palm tree in Bitterwasser - an honor only bestowed on the best pilots. One year later, the two are now returning to Bitterwasser to plant their palm tree in a festive ceremony in keeping with the old Bitterwasser tradition.
