Syllabus

Level One to Level Two

The Club Member has demonstrated a great ground control, smooth and light grip, proper angle of attack and succeeded well over 50 flights. Straight and level, awesome flairs and stalls with barely any need of running. Excellent

Next we entered the possibilities of turning - S turns, 45° - 90° turns, shallow turns, coordinated turns.

With the use of a simulator, the Club Member will have the opportunity to practice the movement of shifting his or her weight in order to initiate a turn, to complete a turn and to stop the turn. Thanks to our Light Sport Aircraft, we will be able to go up and do some maneuvers with our future Level Two pilot.

We will guide our club members with all available apparatus, which will enable our future Level Two, to get ready for his or her Level Three!
