Modules of the track

MODULE 01

XC-day weather: forecast and strategy

You already fly on your own and can read a one-day forecast. Cross-country asks for more: reading the weather three days ahead, counting the working window by the hour and knowing where the day will break before your eyes can see it — from the synoptic chart to the decision to turn back.

MODULE 02

Active piloting and SIV

The next level after basic aerodynamics: how the wing feels in your hands and what to do with it in rough air. Active piloting through the feedback channels, pitch and roll, launch and soaring in demanding conditions; the second half is the SIV course — collapses, cravats, stalls, spins and spirals, and when to deploy the reserve.

MODULE 03

Cross-country flight: planning and navigation

A route begins where the familiar slope ends: you leave the known and buy information with altitude. Preparing the route the day before, following a line over the terrain, calculating transitions and the altitude margin to a landing field, reading instruments and your own track; radio, tracking and retrieve.

MODULE 04

Human factors and risk management

Equipment fails rarely, decisions fail regularly. How your own mistakes work: why experience sometimes works against you, how personal limits quietly erode and what happens to attention under load — tools for the launch site and the air.

How to study on this track

Read the moduleTheory with examples from flying in Gudauri, case studies and the fine points you usually learn only at the launch site.
PractiseAfter each module — a practice test: you answer a question and immediately see the explanation. Repeat as many times as you like.
Take the track exam30 questions, 45 minutes, 85 % pass mark. The format is the same as at the real exam — so that you are not nervous there.
FlyTheory runs in parallel with practice. Clearance for solo flights is given by the instructor, not by a test.
