Nine days, three blocks — up to cross-country

The advanced course turns a confident pilot into a cross-country one. Nine days are split into three blocks of three days — you can take them one at a time.

Three blocks

Why nine days, not three

Cross-country is three different skills. Each needs its own block.

Block A

Wing control

Active piloting, precise launch and landing, control in turbulence.

Block B

Thermals & ridge

Reading the weather, climbing in a thermal, ridge work, safe spacing in a group.

Block C

Cross-country

Transitions between thermals, tactics, route planning and an evening track debrief.
