SIV course

Go2Fly SIV course on Lake Annecy

Organizer: Go2Fly ↗

A two- or three-day SIV course by the small Go2Fly school over Lake Annecy, usually two days at weekends and three days during the week from Tuesday to Thursday with Friday as a reserve. On the evening before the course a compulsory briefing in the Go2Fly tent at La Nublière campsite in Doussard, 150 metres from the landing field, covers a reserve extraction check on a hang rig, the issue of life jackets, earpieces and waterproof radio bags, and a video-supported presentation of the training area and exercises. There are up to three flights a day with a rescue boat; exercises are built around each pilot's goals, from feeling more at ease and understanding your own glider to handling flight incidents and preparing for aerobatics, a new glider or the cross-country season. Launches and flights are filmed and debriefed right at the landing field and in the evening on a large screen; videos are free. Groups are limited to eight pilots.
