ORANGE BOX COURSES

Orange Box level courses are opened to everybody. They intend to introduce the futur pilot to free-flying in the most friendly, secure and organized envirnoment. The test-adaptation period is compulsory. The schedule and timetables are organized individually. A record of all the work and progreses is maintained along the process. The registration fee remains in force until the end of the course.

BLUE BOX COURSES

Blue Box level courses are opened to the pilots who passed through the Orange box or pilots who have learned in other systems and need retraining. They intend to consolidate and improve the technique of the pilot in a friendly, secure and organized environment, and fly in good conditions. The test-adaptation period is compulsory. The schedule and timetables are organized individually. A record of all the work and progreses is maintained along the process. The registration fee remains in force until the end of the course.
