The Flying
The Pilot Development Course (Pilotage) is a combination of basic skills and “soft” SIV. Take off is around 1200m above the landing site so there is plenty of space to practice manoeuvres. We'll practice Big Ears, B-line stalls, spirals, all types of collapses (both symmetric and asymmetric), wing-overs, quick 8’s, as well as taking you to the point of spin and stall. If you’re already comfortable with this we'll take you further and put you fully into these manoeuvres. You’ll come away from this course with solid skills that you will be able to incorporate into your normal flying and at the same time will be a much more competent and confident pilot. If conditions are appropriate we’ll work on sharpening up your thermalling technique and XC skills. This course requires a minimum of 10 hrs experience (but we recommend 20).
Accomodation
We will be staying at a campsite by the lake during the trip which is convienient for the flying sites. The campsite has its own beach and internet access.
