Get ready your suntan creams – we are about to fly!

This is the event which gets you into the game. Thermalling with the complete training of active piloting, descent and escape maneuvers and various kind of frontal collapse – in the best alpian sites – that all is El Speedo APT Training.

If you are looking for our former service „Safety Training“, the APT Training is basically the same but without practising spiral dive but with active thermalling.

Terms and reservations

There are no upcoming events at this time.

Brief information

Before lunch, we train active piloting, smooth exiting various collapses and descent maneuvers. After lunch, we train flying in thermals. That is El Speedo solution how to gain safe flying hours in thermals.

In the equipment for this training, you will find HD camera which we also use for SIV course and safety training. There is our instructor on both starting site and landing place – similarly to the elementary course. The instructor on the starting site takes care about safe starts and navigation in thermals while the other focuses on active piloting training itself which is precise handling of front stall and asymmetric collapses as well as descent and escaping maneuvers.

With PES (Pilot Education System) we are able to catch mistakes you are keep making in order to improve your skills. Your willingness to educate and train yourself has direct influence to your safety.
