Skyemotion

• School

Skyemotion offers a pathway for the Zurich and central Switzerland area from a half-day taster to full pilot training. Its website states a maximum group size of six. The introductory session covers equipment, theory and first short hops on a training slope.

The separate Grundschulung also suits people who are not yet ready to commit to the full pathway. The standard option includes evening theory and three slope days; the intensive option provides five days and an hour of individual coaching. Complete equipment is supplied. A training day starts with weather and equipment checks and ends with a review of practice; ground handling and landing are practised with radio support.

The subsequent Brevet-Ausbildung programme lists at least forty radio-coached high flights and training in more than twenty Swiss flying areas, chosen to suit the weather. Theory covers meteorology, aerodynamics, equipment and rules. The school offers a three-month package with an extension option, plus an All-Inclusive version with personal equipment that the student keeps.
