Thermalling • XC Flying • 10 Days • Advanced Safety
The P4 Advanced Pilot course is the ultimate step toward autonomy, designed to develop advanced flying techniques and build confidence in thermalling & XC.
Over 10 intensive days, you will master active air risk management, learn MacCready principles, and refine your out-landing strategies to fly independently worldwide.
Qualification: Advanced Pilot capable of worldwide independent flying, XC route planning, and strong wind/slope operations.
Key focus areas for the 10-day Advanced Pilot program
Comprehensive training to develop advanced flying techniques and worldwide independence.
Build confidence in thermal locating, centering, and cross-country transition strategies.
Master risk management in strong air, collapse recovery, and reserve deployment procedures.
Intensive practical block including strong wind takeoffs and precision landings.
The P4 Advanced Pilot course is a 10-day intensive program (weather dependent) designed for pilots ready to step into the world of Cross-Country (XC) flying and advanced airmanship. The core objective is to allow you to fly independently worldwide.
This course goes deep into aerodynamics, covering Speed-to-fly theory, the MacCready principle, and energy retention in maneuvers. You will learn to locate and center thermals efficiently, fly cloud streets, and manage convergence.
Safety is paramount: we cover risk analysis in strong air, reserve deployment procedures, and handling incidents like cravats and twists. Upon passing the theory and practical exams, you will possess the skills to plan routes, navigate via GPS, and handle out-landings safely.
Mastering the science of flight, from synoptic weather maps to polar curves.
Real-world training for strong wind launches, XC transitions, and advanced maneuvers.
Training includes post-landing safety, group flying safety, and handling emergencies like twists or cravats.
Execute strong wind takeoffs, slope launches, and abort techniques. Perform precision, crosswind, and turbulent/emergency landings.
Practice Big ears + speedbar, basic Wingovers, and 360s with a focus on energy management.
Learn altitude & transition strategies, ridge & wave soaring, and centering thermals.
