The A.V.R.O. is a non-profitmaking association whose purpose is to spread the aeronautics culture and the passion for flight. Within the Club, sailflying, motorflying, making is been practised.

We cooperate with the civil defence for the environmental protection.

Sailflying:
Rivoli di Osoppo is truly a paradise for those who love sailflying; built-in the natural park of the Tagliamento and wedged in the magic amphitheatre of the Julian and Carnic Prealps, it’s populated by the real rulers of the sky: the birds. Here we can find the eagle, the kite, the kestrel, the hawk but above all the griffin.
In fact, a couple of kilometres away from the airfield, close to the Cornino lake, from a decade a  project to repopulate the nearby mountains of the Friulian piedmont has been given a start thanks to this rapacious bird. The griffins are used to fly in thermic and dynamics with the gliders, they look at us as friends and flying with them happens quite frequently. We help each other, pointing out good areas where we can fly just with out presence, and the sensations we get from flying together are unique.

The geographic location of the aviosuperficie of Rivoli di Osoppo allows us to set the flights towards the valley or the piedmont getting close to the Alps moving to the east (Slovenia- Bled-Karawanche airport), to the north (Austria- Notsch and Lienz, airport – Gaital- Grossklochner) and to the west ( the Dolomites- Dobbiaco and Vipiteno airport- Val Pusteria).

The mountain reliefs near the field, 5-8 km far, with heights that go from approximately 1100 to 1800 meters (Covria, Cuar, Quarnan and Chiampon mountains), permit great slope flights trainings, in a propaedeutics sort of natural gym to the very difficult flights in the mountains.

That’s why Rivoli is most likely pointed out for anyone who wants to get familiar with slope flights, not having this opportunity at home.

To do some sailflying practise, the club has arranged an available Twin Astir II G 103 Acro glider.

Motorflying:
Flying with a single-engine plane between the valleys and the Carnic and Julian Alps peaks it’s quite a job that requires good technique and experience, but it pays the fans back with the spectacular view and leaves them with unforgettable feelings.

For those who prefer motorflying, the club has arranges a 180 CV single-engine  four-seater Roben  plane, set with I.F.R., with which it is possible to undertake comfort medium haul flights.

The club has also an available micro light single-engine Fly Syntesis “Storch 80HP ” equipped with a ballistic parachute, with a large fenestration which makes it particularly suitable for video records and photo reportages
