SIV course

Combined SIV and cross-country course (Annecy Vol Libre)

Organizer: Annecy Vol Libre ↗

A four- to five-day combination of SIV over Lake Annecy and cross-country flying in the massifs around the lake, run by Annecy Vol Libre. The split between SIV and XC days follows the weather, and each pilot has personal goals. SIV days include a course and site briefing, equipment check, a technical briefing on the exercises, up to three flights a day and a video debrief. XC days start with weather analysis and the day's goals, continue with flights from various sites, and GPS tracks and routes are reviewed the next morning. The school lends a VHF radio, a certified life jacket, a waterproof pouch and a quick-stuff bag.
