COURSE PROGRESS

We believe that the training of a professional pilot should begin once you have acquired some flying experience motivated by the sheer pleasure of flying. Taking to the skies and using your privileges builds a pilot’s character and decision-making ability.

Night flying training can begin as soon as the Private Pilot License is signed, depending on the season.

This advanced training covers a spectrum of exercises from the initial training, with a greater finesse in the execution of maneuvers.
Travelling flights will cover greater distances;
the level of difficulty of known exercises will increase,
New maneuvers reserved for professional pilot training will be taught.
