SIV course

Espace 3D piloting and SIV course on Lake Annecy

A two- or three-day piloting and SIV course by Espace 3D, held exclusively over Lake Annecy in a dedicated area with its own landing field. A state-qualified instructor assists at the Col de la Forclaz launch, a specialist instructor guides the pilot from the boat, and every flight is filmed by a camera operator on the ground. Exercises are adapted to the pilot's level: correcting control habits, steeper turns, rapid descents and handling flight incidents. Between flights there is a briefing on site, and at the end of the day theory at the piloting centre and a detailed video debrief; videos are free. The boat stands by in case a pilot lands in the water under the reserve.
