A high-demanding methodology on the simulator training program renders natural most appropriate stance and reactions at all the stages of flight (from glide gound-handling, take-off run, flying technique and in-flight incident reactions), which combined with real glide ground-handling and take off run, ensures a quick transition to real in-flight instruction.

INDEX

A methodology strongly focused on the simulator training. All the key stages must be asimilated and automated by the student (such as control of the angle, take-off run and flying technique, etc.) to start real take-off run practice and immediately the firsts "big flights". All the work is done in vertical position.

A methodology which includes new flight-technique areas in the simulator. It helps speeding up real glider ground-handling practice. It benefits for a wide theorical material support, wih the aim of providing the pilot-student the necessary knowledge and awareness to fly in different sites and conditions, within the maximum security levels.

A methodology that requires an important and intensive training on the simulator. The "prono" or lying position must be scrupulously asimilated at all the stages of the system, with all variations. The theorical support is comprehensive and the "altitude flights" are generally done in the same site.
