Beginner course

Espace 3D progression course to autonomy

A follow-up course by Espace 3D for students after a beginner course or pilots returning to flying, aimed at reaching autonomy at the level of the FFVL pilot brevet. It can be booked for one to five days, or as a ten-day pass spread over the season. Flying usually takes place in the calm morning air and, when the weather allows, in the first thermals; in the air pilots practise the manoeuvres needed to manage a flight on their own, and on the ground they work on reverse ground handling for launching in wind. Theory covers aerology and flight mechanics. Flying sites around Lake Annecy, in the Bauges and in the Combe de Savoie are chosen according to conditions; two state-qualified instructors lead the course and school equipment can be rented.
