A former KLM pilot, he's clocked up around 6,000 hours in gliders, and there's nowhere he'd rather fly than in the mountains.<\/p>\n<\/div><span class='hidden team-member-affiliation'  itemprop=\"affiliation\" >kiripotib-soaring.com<\/span><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='unsere-champions'  class='avia-section av-1rrweg-8521d7771538010e87537995738223ce alternate_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow  avia-builder-el-54  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-512'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ao2s8-24324a40cf6056100b45c2048621e15c\">\n.av_font_icon.av-ao2s8-24324a40cf6056100b45c2048621e15c{\ncolor:#8c3b1d;\nborder-color:#8c3b1d;\n}\n.avia-svg-icon.av-ao2s8-24324a40cf6056100b45c2048621e15c svg:first-child{\nstroke:#8c3b1d;\nfill:#8c3b1d;\n}\n.av_font_icon.av-ao2s8-24324a40cf6056100b45c2048621e15c .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:40px;\nline-height:40px;\nwidth:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-ao2s8-24324a40cf6056100b45c2048621e15c avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style-border avia-icon-pos-center avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue8a8' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1jiqvc-b72d697e7cde11c45da2345db7a42bf7\">\n.flex_column.av-1jiqvc-b72d697e7cde11c45da2345db7a42bf7{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1jiqvc-b72d697e7cde11c45da2345db7a42bf7 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-56  el_after_av_font_icon  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div av-animated-generic bottom-to-top av-zero-column-padding'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lzibam3u-529f420448b25bdc2259eee64f33c009'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Great former European and World Champions who have already coached many trainees and will be participating in Flying with the Champions again in the years to come:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-986q8-028149024da0df2f46f7caa38084ecbf\">\n.flex_column.av-986q8-028149024da0df2f46f7caa38084ecbf{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-986q8-028149024da0df2f46f7caa38084ecbf av_one_third  avia-builder-el-58  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div av-animated-generic bottom-to-top av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='avia-team-member av-l13bjj29-814cfb390977e0f355f3c8f6bb710aab  avia-builder-el-59  avia-builder-el-no-sibling'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><div class=\"team-img-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-1956 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1956 avia_image avia_image_team' src=\"https:\/\/kiripotib-soaring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Didier_Hauss-1-300x300.jpg\" alt='Didier Hauss'  itemprop=\"image\"   height=\"300\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kiripotib-soaring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Didier_Hauss-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kiripotib-soaring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Didier_Hauss-1-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/kiripotib-soaring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Didier_Hauss-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kiripotib-soaring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Didier_Hauss-1-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/kiripotib-soaring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Didier_Hauss-1-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/kiripotib-soaring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Didier_Hauss-1-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/kiripotib-soaring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Didier_Hauss-1-705x705.jpg 705w, https:\/\/kiripotib-soaring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Didier_Hauss-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><h3 class='team-member-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >Didier Hauss<\/h3><div class='team-member-job-title'  itemprop=\"jobTitle\" >Europameister, SGP-Weltmeister & Vizeweltmeister<\/div><div class='team-member-description'  itemprop=\"description\" ><p>For half a century, Didier has lived and breathed gliding.

We discuss the weather, flight planning, safety topics and organisational issues. Afterwards, participants and champions talk about what they learned in the previous day. Following is the theoretical part including a keynote lecture by one of our champions. This is where your questions can be asked and individual topics can be discussed.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the morning you prepare for your flight and together with your champion you set up an individual daily task. If there is still some time left, you can relax at the pool or enjoy an early lunch.<\/p>\n<p>Teams usually begin their cross-country flights between 11am and 12.30pm. Before sunset you land back at Kiripotib. While enjoying the obligatory landing beer (or landing soda), the participants and the trainer review the day and look forward to their 3-course dinner.<\/p>\n<p>After three days of flying, we regroup you and you get another champion at your side \u2013 this way you can benefit from more experience and from shifting the focus on other aspects of your flying.<\/p>\n<p>The last day is coming up with a special highlight: a common competition task just like in a Grand Prix is on the agenda. Crossing the starting point, you start a regatta with a countdown.
