Our motivation for the event is to have pilots of high level that can explore the area, exploiting the mountains, sharing knowledge while parawaiting or going XC. This for us will be very valuable in constructing a map of possible routes, gathering data that can be used for advancing the sport locally and learning from experts.
We believe that in order to grow as a community we need to be open to learn from others and leave egos aside.
If you think you are a good fit and can provide your experience to a growing community, then apply to be invited and receive some benefits from the organization.
Benefits include
- Shared accommodation in town
- Breakfast
- Free transportation from and to the Airport
- Everything included in your registration
FORMAT & RATINGS
The event will be open for exploration, so each day during our briefing session, we can discuss routes or goals. You may form teams with other pilots and decide to explore somewhere new.
During the event, we provide retrieves if you land inside a defined area. This is a wide area, covering the places we fly.
In the end, we want you to have fun, explore the potential of the region and leave us with important data, questions and recommendations.
Novice pilots are welcome to join the festival and we will guide you so you can fly the area in a safe way. But because we are focused on Cross Country flights and exploiting the region, if we determine that the conditions for the day are not suitable for your skills, we will increase the rating needed for flying and focus on the more experienced pilots.
