21–28 February 2026 (7 days in the air)
Is the Czech winter already too long for you, but you don’t have time to travel to Colombia, Kenya, or Australia? Want to get properly current again and prepare for the season under experienced guidance? Join us in Norma!
Our first trip of the year is once again organized in cooperation with Jožka Káčer Flight School, heading to Norma on the west coast of Italy, about 150 km south of Rome. Expect sunshine, daily temperatures around 15°C, beautiful flying, professional coaching, and terrain that’s perfect both for less experienced pilots and for advanced pilots who want to level up and be fully ready for the 2026 season.
And of course — plenty of Italian coffee and amazing pizza.
Stable flying weather, spring thermals, and great ridge soaring
Elevation difference of approx. 400 m
Large, safe take-off suitable even for newer pilots
Ideal terrain for practicing your first top landings
Spacious and easy-to-read landing field
Terrain that’s easy to understand, great for less experienced pilots
Excellent cross-country possibilities
During our December trip, we flew 3-hour cross-country flights, including a 60 km flat triangle, and enjoyed long ridge-soaring flights above the stunning cliff-edge town of Norma. After flying, you’ll enjoy the true Italian atmosphere — cafés, pizzerias, and fresh food shops literally within walking distance.
If the weather doesn’t cooperate or we want a change, we can move to other nearby flying sites in the Apennine mountains or even head toward the coast.
The trip is led by Jakub Rott, competition pilot with top placements in Czech and international competitions, BP 300km triangle. Jakub will gives you his private tips how to fly better - further, safer and more effecient!
he trip is also open to non-pilots and your non-flying friends. They can either arrange an individual tandem flight on site for €150, or join the trip in “co-pilot mode” — in this option, the trip price includes 4 tandem flights.
