Coaching
|
|
If you're already qualified but feel that you need a little more help; maybe it's just been a while since you flew and you're a bit rusty or perhaps you're trying to gain your Pilot or Advanced Pilot rating and would like to work your way through some of the syllabus, then coaching is the answer for you. We'll get you to the right site and give you a site briefing. We'll discuss your goals or perhaps help you set some if you're looking for direction. Coaching sessions aren't run using radios but rather by briefing and debriefing.

Advanced glider control course – SIV |
|
SIV (simulation de incidence en vol) is a manoeuvres course designed to acquaint the pilot with unstable flight regimes; what initiates them and how to exit them safely. Our SIV course is aimed to accommodate a wide range of pilots, is suitable for all qualified pilots (CP) and should be regarded as an essential step in the development of your piloting skills. We begin with basic pitch control and then move on to wing-overs and big ears. The next stage covers collapses, both symmetric and asymmetric. Finally we practice stalls and spins; we begin with A-line and B-line stalls before moving on to spin recognition. We then practice spins into full stall recovery. This is practiced so that you learn to exit facing in the desired direction. The final stage is entering full stall from normal flight. If you master all of these skills we can go on to practice spirals and SATs; we can teach you to offset them if they come easily to you. We also can teach helicopters. If you'd like to practice reserve deployment, we can do this too.
All flights are filmed for debriefing. |

| We have a dedicated rescue boat which can get us to you in seconds if you do land in the lake. Everyone will be issued with auto-inflation life jackets and radios. This course venue is Lugano, Switzerland and the Course is run over four days although we have a fifth day in case of bad weather. You'll be able to make three flights each day and will have about 1000 m above the lake when you begin your manoeuvres. |
