For intermediate pilots
  • Four launches at about 1,260 m
  • Fly only when the Salzburg CTR's TRA is active
  • Ceiling 1,527 m, or 2,134 m with TRA Schwarzenberg

The Gaisberg is Salzburg's city mountain, with four launch meadows around the summit transmitter and landing fields at Guggenthal and Aigen. It lies in the airport's control zone, so flying is only allowed in a specially activated TRA.
