Know before you go

We are in Switzerland, so you must check airspace maps, and DABS to make sure that you are not suddenly in a restricted flying area. It is also advised to check if military is on or off especially when flying towards Brienz, or crossing towards the jungfrau region. Remember, airspaces in Switzerland are a tough subject, make sure you get all the info you can get befire flying. This is a good place to start:
