Skills improvement
The maintenance of skills involves the practice of flying and the development of these through improvement. Your initial training will be revisited and refined in the various advanced modules offered.
- The enrichment of his knowledge and its updating allows the pilot to better understand how to carry out his flight, to become a more informed, more serene pilot and therefore to make himself more available for other tasks.
- The particularities of the microlight make shorter slopes accessible, that mountain flying and to altisurfaces is allowed without prior training (although it is strongly recommended).
- Navigation is a subject that for some remains hermetic preventing them from travelling to new destinations (transit authorisation, CTR, SIV, airspace, map reading etc.),
- The conventional gear and its bush flying possibilities open up new areas of evolution,
- Advanced courses are there to help you take the next step in your piloting.
Duration: Plan for each specialization module a block of 5 hours of flights.
For the "Short Track" and "Landed Field" modules, plan an additional evaluation flight that will allow the module to be adapted to your level.
Navigation
- Refresh of flight preparation methods and practices,
- Carrying out controlled navigation, use of the SIV (flight information services, transit, authorization of penetration, use of the transponder,
- Accompaniment on a representative Navigation.
Manoeuvrability, Use of flight controls
- Stall speed and centre of gravity, mass and balance
- Angle of attack and stall - use of elevator,
- Flight envelope - speed/burst diagram (speed-acceleration) - the "Va",
- Last turn and missed runway centreline - the danger of rudder pedal misuse,
- Manoeuvrability exercise (PTS, coaching, sliding, sharp turn, steep turn).
Short fields
(an evaluation flight will be conducted)
- Knowledge of your machine,
- Vs1g and optimal Weight and balance,
- attitude/speed/power relationship at second regim,
- Flight accompaniment on short runways.
Bush landings type
(A required experience of 200 flight hours is required - an evaluation flight will be conducted)
- Determination of machine limits,
- The different stall speeds,
- Steep slope / engined landings / tail protection for conventional gears.
Mountain flight
- Pass crossing
- Sailing in the valleys,
- Aerology, weather,
- Pathway, U-turn and safety margin.
