Learning to be a safe pilot - SIV

Simulated Incidents in Flight
SIV in the 1st World - Lake Annecy, France
18 - 24 May 2013 & 25 - 31 May 2013
This course is personally tailored specifically to ensure that whatever level pilot you are now, you'll remain in one piece to become an old pilot! As well as being educational, SIV is great fun... The initial trepidation at collapsing your perfectly functional glider is rapidly replaced by a huge grin as you learn how safe your wing is and just how easy it is to pilot out of the most unusual attitudes :)
