Trike – Uncover (Beginner Level)

Trike “Uncover” is a 5-6 days beginner’s course which provides the student with their first rating in the PPG education system. This includes 2 hours of training per day (practical & theory). The student learns how to launch and control the wing on the ground, with and without power and also learns how to coordinate between power control and directional control in flight and on ground. The aim is to develop a thorough feel of the glider and power control at various stages. Special emphasis will be laid on high flying for orientation purpose, low flying, ground handling tasks and essential safety procedures.

After the first solo flight of half hour duration, we will give another half hour flight complimentary from our side, which will mark the completion of the course.
