Routes

Many pilots come to Fiesch to fly cross country, as the potential to achieve big distances from here is enormous.  Unless stated otherwise, all the example flights in this section are mine.  I have used a mix of some that went well and others that didn’t to illustrate specific points.  Links to XContest records and 3D visualisations are included to show how the routes have actually worked in practice.
