| Event Concept: |
The members of the PMA provide their products free of costs to pilots for test flying. Instead of having several individual, time and money consuming test camps spread all over the world, all manufacturers offer their products at the beginning of the European flying season central in Europe in Kössen with its ideal infrastructure. For pilots keen to test several brands and to compare on site, this creates cheaper and timesaving possibilities to do so. For this purpose the flying site in Kössen is ideal:
| ||||||||
| Conditions for pilots to test a glider: | The pilot must prove by signature that he holds the appropriate flying license and also that he has received briefing about the flying site and the special landing approach. Unfortunately no reservations for test flying paragliders can be done. | ||||||||
| Flying Shows / Demos: | To be able to do as many test flights as possible no official flying shows are scheduled so to keep the maximum airspace and flight time for testing. However on certain occasions exceptions can be organized upon agreement with the organizers. | ||||||||
| Accommodation / Camping: | Reservations via www.kaiserwinkl.com (make reservations early, because of the long weekend!) No overnight staying or Camping at the exhibition area or the landing field. | ||||||||
| Preliminary Time Schedule: |
