From the first slope-school take-off to solo flights, our FFVL-accredited school supports you at your own pace. Four packages to become an independent pilot on the most beautiful sites of the Préalpes d'Azur. And unlike most schools, our sessions run all year round, including winter.
A day to test before committing. Ski-slope pack and introductory tandem flight with your instructor. Photos and videos of your flight included (SD card). Ideal for validating your desire to fly, from age 12 and with no prerequisites.
An intensive week to get off to a flying start. Comprehensive theory, slope training exercises, daily briefings and video debriefs after each flight. First solo flights at the end of the week.
For autonomous pilots who want to progress technically. Active piloting, reading thermals, cross-country initiation, and advanced landing techniques. Advanced theory and video debriefing.
Discover the best flying sites in the south: Gréolières, Gourdon, Roquebrune Cap Martin. Mountain and coastal flying, theory tailored to local conditions and a personalised flight plan every day.
