\u00c9cole de pilotage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CVVG organise les cours de pilotage planeur tout au long de la saison de vol (d'avril \u00e0 octobre). L'instruction en vol a lieu tous les week-ends, les jours f\u00e9ri\u00e9s, et parfois en semaine lorsque le temps est ensoleill\u00e9, chaud et que la vitesse du vent est faible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il y a un instructeur en piste \/ en vol chaque jour ou le club organise des op\u00e9rations de vol. Cet instructeur est certifi\u00e9 pour instruire les \u00e9l\u00e8ves-pilote en vertu de la r\u00e9glementation sur les transports du Canada (CARS 421.82<\/a>). Tous les instructeurs sont b\u00e9n\u00e9voles, ainsi que les pilotes remorqueurs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Ce que vous apprendrez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La formation de pilote planeur suit le programme d'instruction de l\u2019AVVC \/ SAC (Association de Vol \u00e0 Voile du Canada \/ Soaring Association of Canada).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A chaque \u00e9tape de la formation, l\u2019instructeur explique et d\u00e9montre chaque concept, exercice ou proc\u00e9dure, puis guide l\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8ve-pilote pour l\u2019ex\u00e9cution de la man\u0153uvre, d\u2019abord avec son assistance, puis sans aide de l\u2019instructeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus de d\u00e9tails ><\/summary>\n

Note these lessons do not proceed in a strictly linear fashion. The sequence of exercises will vary based on each student’s progression, weather conditions and other factors. However before going solo a student needs to complete all exercises and demonstrate competence in all these skills. Your progress will be recorded in your Pilot Training Record (PTR) book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
