AcroFly Brașov

• School

AcroFly around Brașov combines beginner and advanced modules. Beginners practise ground handling, take instructional tandem flights and progress to supervised solo flights. School equipment is included. Basic theory covers meteorology, flight preparation and landing planning. Further training adds meteorology and an introduction to thermal and ridge soaring. Licensed pilots can also take SIV training with radio guidance and video debriefing.

Before committing to longer training, newcomers can choose the one-day “Pilot pentru o zi” programme, limited to five students. It introduces equipment, theory and basic practical skills. A short solo flight from the training hill is possible only when the student is ready and both student and instructor agree. The school supplies the necessary equipment, and a day cancelled because of weather can be rescheduled. The school recommends long sleeves and bringing food and drink. Weather and the programme start are checked by phone the evening before.
