This Groundhandling & Glider Control seminar aims to pilots who wish to reconnect with their gliders and lock a solid ‘piloting skills’ base by training correctly and gaining a clear understanding of the complete potential of their flying gear.Groundhandling can be groundbreaking to a pilot’s progress, no matter their level of experience. It is essentially the only practice method, necessary to revisit time after time, for one to discover and utilize all of the glider’s abilities and with safety.
Training your feeling, your cognition, your reflexes and your physical inputs will broaden the spectrum of control with your own glider and enable you to familiarize faster and better with any new glider you fly!
The goal is to discover how a paraglider should really be handled and how it should react to your intentions.
The next step is establishing the reasons behind a glider’s incident behavior and any deviations from it.
We will give you answers and demonstrate several techniques applicable to the take off procedure as much as landing as much as all flight stages, which you will then implement yourself in real time action, so together we can work on adapting them to your flying style.
A blend of intense exercises on the ground and in the air, clear theory presentations and live demonstrations, daily targets and open dialogue, with plenty of airtime will optimize your flying sensations just in time for the start of the flying season!
The seminar will focus on:
