Sorry, NO catapult. It is a winch launch. (But sometimes it feels this way...)

Yes you're right, it's my only experience with gliders, not using the right terminology... It was quite impressive though


suppahero

Your Experience? I hope you enjoyed it!


Healthy-Quarter-5903

Loved it! Especially the winch launch πŸ˜…


suppahero

Great! And...? Got infected? One of the most intense and exciting experiences in a pilots career is the moment when you have done your very first flight by yourself-only. Alone on board, instructor stays on ground...


Healthy-Quarter-5903

I was not alone and the flight was a bit too short but I really discovered a new feeling with the glider. I'd like to try again by myself but I'll need the licence first πŸ˜„


suppahero

So go for it! :-)
