Structure of the training
The training at Airsport goes in general in 3 steps:
1. De basisinitiatie op de leshelling
GOAL: To be able to take off independently, in preparation for the high flights training.
You will learn the basic theory and acquire the essential skills to be able to participate in the high flights training. These are:
- Prepare wing and equipment correctly
- Be able to perform pre-flight check
- Controlling forward start in easy conditions (winds of 0-15km/h, in the right direction)
- Follow radio instructions correctly
- Be able to land properly
We do this training in Belgium in order to have more time for actual high flights when we are on the high flights training course.
2. The high flight training
GOAL: Learn to fly independently in a guided framework, obtaining the initial certification, level green, in order to advance towards the pilots’ license.
You’re really going to fly! Initially under radio guidance, gradually you can become more and more independent. After this training you will have:

These trainings usually take place abroad, we go to the Vosges, the Alps, the Pyrenees or sometimes even further.
3. The advanced training or Club activities
