Entrenúvols

• School

Entrenúvols offers an introductory course requiring no previous experience. Its usual structure is five days, adjusted to weather and skills achieved. Ground handling, theory, a teaching tandem and video analysis lead towards solo flights, with instructors at launch and landing providing radio guidance. Equipment and transport during the course are included. Depending on the season, practical training is concentrated in the early and late parts of the day.

Progression follows the introductory course and also caters for returning pilots after a longer break. Usually structured over 4–5 days, it develops launching, approaches and landings while gradually shifting decisions to the student. Analysis of students’ own footage supports preparation for Pilotaje or Autonomía courses; the school specifies continued school supervision at this stage.

The five-day Térmica–Cross course uses the Àger valley and surrounding area. It is intended for autonomous pilots with thermalling experience and prior SIV training. Morning theory and planning lead into a cross-country flight accompanied by an instructor and a subsequent debrief. Advanced weather topics and flight instruments are included, making this a different level from an initial introduction to thermalling.
