Beutnitz Übungshang 1

Beutnitz Übungshang 1 is the first of several linked launch points at this flight school's training slope in Germany, sitting at around 245 metres and set up for wind from the northeast or east. Like its neighbouring launch points on the same hillside, it comes with rules built to protect the land around it: flying must not disturb the neighbouring fields, the vegetation on the slope itself has to be respected, and the whole area needs to be kept free of litter after every session. Facing northeast and east gives this particular launch point a different usable window than the other Beutnitz slopes nearby, which cover different directions. As with the rest of this training complex, it's run through the flight school rather than open to casual use, so flying here happens on a scheduled basis rather than by just showing up. It's a straightforward, low-drama slope built for repeated short training flights.

Launch & conditions

Training slope (Übungshang) at ~245 m, flyable with NE or E wind — one of several launch points in this training complex.

Local rules & hazards

Flying here must not affect neighbouring land or damage the vegetation on the slope, and the site must be kept free of litter after every session.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Beutnitz Übungshang 1, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch. In the free OutDare app you can open Beutnitz Übungshang 1 with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.
