Are you currently learning or would like to learn Acro?
I have been flying and teaching Acro for many years and have seen the effects of both good and bad training. Our Intensive ACRO course is the result of all the past lessons learnt and is a programme I wish was around when I started flying ACRO.
The aim of the course is to make the learning process as safe and as fun as possible and to give you confidence in your ACRO flying. Confidence is key as it allows you to fully commitment to a manoeuvre and it is so important to have full commitment
What are the skill requirements?
This course is suitable for both beginner and advanced Acro pilots as each pilot will have a tailored programme.
The course is divided into 4 distinct manouvere groups and a pilots entry point into the programme will be determined by their past experience.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. If you are interested in Acro we are interested in working with you.
Why join us?
Our course has been developed with over 15+ years of personal Acro flying experience and instruction.
A structured progression plan breaking the manouveres down into four distinct groups means the completion of each stage leaves a pilot prepared and ready with the skills to progress onto the next section.
Where are we going?
Oludeniz, in Turkey has long been a popular place for Acro training.
Babadag mountain sits behind a well established and friendly tourist resort. This unique location combines easy access to a well maintained launch, with incredible height over the sea allowing for multiple repetitions of manouveres each run and a lively resort full of restaurants.
How big is the group?
The course is strictly limited to 5 pilots as big groups and a limited number of daily flights just does not cut it when learning Acro.
It is not unusual for pilots to rebook this course so early booking is advised.
We fill spaces on a first come first serve basis.
