Beginner course
Autonomy course towards the Brevet de pilote initial (Aerodream)
Organizer: Aerodream Parapente
Aerodream's follow-on course that takes pilots from radio-guided flights to flying on their own and to the FFVL Brevet de pilote initial. It begins on the training slope with a technique check. The core is gradual weaning off the radio, pitch, roll and dynamic-turn exercises, choosing landing approaches, aerology-based decisions and mental preparation. The second half of the week is about new sites around Annecy, such as the Semnoz, Planfait, Sapenay or the Beaufortain. The programme is individual and the school lends equipment. Pilots who pass the practical modules and the theory test leave with the Brevet initial; otherwise another weekend or week completes it. It is sold as a weekend or five-day course.
