Monte Pizzocolo, Italy
Before the exam, a first step here.
MY MOMENT
An Early Step Towards My Licence.
Before my DHV licence exam, unsuitable weather in Germany led our instructor to drive the students across the Alps to Monte Pizzocolo in Italy. The scenery south of the mountains was beautiful, and we could finally make our preparatory flights.
It was my first such preparation trip. Later I passed the exam at Buchenberg and earned my licence. Monte Pizzocolo remains more than a beautiful flying site: it was a meaningful early step in learning to fly.
