Civ Vol Biv

Civilized Flying Camping

Vol Biv in the Alps can vary enormousley from simple overnight stops in the mountains, followed by a beautiful and calm flight down in the still morning air, to a series of long flights heading in a general direction, where camping, walking and finding new launches each day becomes routine.
By its nature Vol Biv is more complex than just flying. It requires some suplimentery skills, such as planing and organization. You may also be flying less frequented areas and might be using and carying silghtly different equipment. Although no one of these things is too much, put together all at once they can add too much stress to make things worthwhile.
Given a positive spirit Vol Biv is whithin the range of most pilots given the correct choices and back up.
