Cross-country course (Les Grands Espaces)

Organizer: Les Grands Espaces ↗

Five-day cross-country course at Les Grands Espaces for independent pilots with some experience. The instructor flies with the group, pilots carry GPS trackers and follow a jointly prepared flight plan along a route that returns to the starting point, while a retrieve vehicle follows. Routes are chosen by weather, ideally a different one each day, across Savoie and Haute-Savoie, for example in the Chablais, the Beaufortain or towards Isère. The course covers flight preparation from weather data, GPS and map work, track analysis, setting realistic goals, flying as a group and flying faster. The school supplies trackers to record and debrief flights; the course can also be bought as five prepaid days.
