If you’ve finished your basics and feel ready to take the next step, this course is for you. It’s all about getting more comfortable in the air, improving your control, and starting to enjoy longer flights.
By the end of it, you’ll be eligible to apply for the APPI 2 Explore rating, taking you one step closer to flying more independently.
This course is focused on helping you feel relaxed and confident while flying.
You’ll work on staying in the air longer, improving your control, and understanding how to make the most of the conditions. We’ll also cover site reading, weather basics, and simple flight planning.
Safety is always a priority, so you’ll learn how to make good decisions and handle different situations calmly.
You’ll still have radio support during flights, so you’re guided while you keep progressing at your own pace.
