Description
The Michaelerberg in Moosheim, Austria, is a training site primarily used by the Sky Club Austria flight school. The site is characterized by an elevation of 1028 meters and a height difference of 378 meters, making it an easy terrain suitable for beginners and training purposes. The area is regularly used for soaring, although it is not suitable for cross-country flights.
The Michaelerberg serves as the practice slope for altitude flight training, with a height difference ranging from 400 to 418 meters. Flight students always have priority here. The site is accessible year-round, provided the road conditions are favorable and snow is not too deep. Clubs and flight schools are encouraged to schedule their visits with the Sky Club Austria office.
Special considerations include approaching the terrain edge just above the landing site as closely as possible when there is a strong east valley wind, and avoiding the ravine. There are no start or landing fees, and all pilots are welcome to fly freely in the area. Sky Club Austria members receive discounts on cable car rides and other benefits.
Access to the site can be made by car or the SCA flight taxi from the Moosheim landing site, which is approximately 5 kilometers away and takes about 10 minutes. The ride costs 3 Euros with the SCA flight taxi. For more information, you can contact Sky Club Austria at 03685/22333.
The Michaelerberg offers stunning views of Dachstein, Stoderzinken, Kammspitze, and Grimming, making it a memorable experience. However, the start site is in the lee during east wind conditions, which can pose natural hazards. Flight students have priority, and there is a designated landing area.
This site is part of the 'Flightpark Dachstein' and is ideal for training and beginner pilots due to its excellent launch sites. It is also suitable for test flights of new gliders before purchase.
