Flugsportvereinigung Kassel-Zierenberg e.V.

Flugsportvereinigung Kassel-Zierenberg e.V. is based at Am Helfenstein 11-14, 34289 Zierenberg, Germany. Its main flying site for gliding is on the Dörnberg near Kassel-Zierenberg in Hesse. The club also has a separate model flying site at the Isthaer Brand.

The club offers glider pilot training for the Segelflugzeugführer license (SPL). Training is done with volunteer instructors and includes practical flying, theory lessons, and the steps needed for the SPL, including radio phraseology training for the radio certificate. The club also runs youth and seasonal training courses, with beginner training on the ASK 21.

The club publishes a fee schedule rather than a single fixed training price. According to its fee list, a course fee for non-members is 50 EUR plus the listed flight fees, and guest flights are 40 EUR for up to 20 minutes, with 5 EUR for each additional 5 minutes after that. For current training costs and membership-related fees, it is best to contact the club directly, since the total depends on how much you fly and which training path you follow.

For beginner training, the club uses the ASK 21, which it describes as its standard training glider. It also operates ASW 28-18 aircraft for cross-country flying and training, and a Duo Discus xLT is listed in the fleet information. The club says all of its gliders are used depending on the student's training level.

Yes. Flugsportvereinigung Kassel-Zierenberg e.V. is a registered flying club, and it organizes gliding as a club activity rather than operating as a commercial flight school. The club also has a model flying section alongside its glider operations.

Based on the available information, training is available in German. No other training languages are listed.
