Overview of the association
The association LSV Albatros e.V. operates gliding at the location Segelflugplatz Gammelsdorf and attaches great importance to a volunteer organized, high-quality training in the field of Alpine gliding and route gliding. The members benefit from a modern aircraft park and a dedicated flight instructor team, which carries out the training free of charge.
Offer of training & Costs
The association offers a complete training program from the first trial flight to the gliding license, including theoretical lessons and practical flights. Interested parties have the opportunity to test the entry via a trial membership: either as a passenger with an experienced pilot or as an active trial membership for up to four weeks – including a flight from the pilot’s seat.
Conditions for training
In order to begin the training, applicants must be reliable and suitable – according to the association, there must be no facts that raise doubts about the suitability (e.g. significant traffic violations. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
During the training, students are expected to actively participate in flight operations — not only flying, but also helping to clean up, clear out aircraft and ground work. This joint cooperation is an integral part of the association life.
Course of training
Theoretical training covers all relevant topics: air law, human performance, meteorology, communication, aerodynamics/basics of flying, flight performance and flight planning, general aircraft knowledge and navigation. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Practical training usually extends over two gliding seasons. The actual duration up to the license depends on personal commitment, weather conditions and regular participation.
