Description
The Michaelerberg in Moosheim, Austria, is a training site primarily used by the Sky Club Austria flight school. It is an easy terrain with an elevation of 1058 meters and a height difference of 378 meters. This site is regularly used for soaring and training flights, but it is not suitable for cross-country flying.
The Michaelerberg serves as a practice slope for altitude flight training, and flight students always have priority. The height difference ranges from 400 to 418 meters. 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 in advance with the Sky Club Austria office.
Special considerations include approaching the terrain edge just above the landing site from the west when there is a strong east valley wind. Pilots should avoid the ravine.
There are no start or landing fees, and all pilots are welcome to fly freely in this area. Sky Club Austria members receive discounts on cable car rides and other benefits.
Access to the site is possible by car or the Sky Club Austria flight taxi from the Moosheim landing site, which is approximately 5 kilometers away and takes about 10 minutes. The ascent fee with the flight taxi is 3 Euros. For more information, you can contact Sky Club Austria at 03685/22333 or visit their website: [Sky Club Austria Michaelerberg](http://www.skyclub-austria.at/html/de/flightpark/gel_michaelerberg.html).
The Michaelerberg offers stunning views of Dachstein, Stoderzinken, Kammspitze, and Grimming. However, it is primarily a training hill, and the start site is in the lee during east wind conditions. Natural hazards and the priority of flight students must be considered. There is a designated landing pattern.
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.
