Glider-flying is also practiced at our academy!
​
Because its practice is quite didactic, we believe that the glider pilot's (GPL) license is a differential in the pilot's curriculum.
The flight is conducted with the help of thermals (“hot air pockets”), which make piloting quite challenging, and help in the training of pilots with great flight sensitivity, the so-called “hand and foot”.
