Die vier Damen Andrea Abt, Margherita Acquaderni, Petra Lauer-Zimmermann und Ilka Elster-Back legten in den letzten Tagen eine weite Strecke an Kilometern zurück.
Vor allem am 5.11 waren sie den Männern weit voraus. Ganz vorne dabei: Ilka Elster-Back mit 834 km. Petra, Andrea und Margherita legten über 700 km Flugstrecke zurück. Und das mit Durchschnitten von bis zu 130 km/h.
Damit hat Bitterwasser starke Pilotinnen und wir erwarten noch viele mehr!
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.
