Dragon flying: FAQ
The most important questions about entering the Dragon Flight.
Frequent questions
Do I need prior knowledge?
For an entry-level course, usually no aviation training is necessary. Clarify with the school whether the offered course is intended for beginners.
How long does the training take?
This depends on weather, course format and learning progress. Ask about training days, time reserves and follow-up courses instead of just after a calendar week.
Do I have to buy a dragon before?
At the beginning, school equipment is often offered. Conditions may differ between basic and high altitude flight training.
Can I study in the plains?
Depending on the school, winch or UL towing training paths are possible. Ask specifically about hanging glider training and the registered start mode.
Is a tandem flight already an education?
An experience tandem flight serves to get to know each other. A teaching tandem can be part of a training program. Ask what specific training goal is booked.
Does a foreign degree apply in Germany?
An automatic equivalence is not guaranteed here. Let recognition, starting types and necessary additions be clarified by the responsible body before the trip.
What do the 3D videos show?
The self-created films illustrate spatial connections. They are schematic learning aids; concrete exercises take place with flight instructors.
Do the card points show real starting places?
The points are approximate location or region indications of the training possibilities. Meeting places and terrain must be confirmed directly with the provider.
