NEED FOR RAISING AWARENESS

The summer season is upon us, and it's time for long-distance travel by microlight or light aircraft. The trip you have been planning for a few weeks, may require a flight over a mountainous region, possibly involving a flight through valleys and crossing passes.

​

The presence of terrain brings new constraints for the unexperienced pilot and unfortunately many accidents have occurred due to the lack of knowledge and preparation of pilots for this type of flight. You cannot imporivse a flight in mountainous regions! The French Association of Mountain Pilots (AFPM) offers various awareness-raising activities for pilots who wish to fly through mountainous regions. The specific aspects of this kind of flight are discussed, so that pilots do not discover this magnificent environment alone and can enjoy it for a long time.

​

A la carte training is offered by various training organisations approved by the AFPM. You will find below all the details of this training.
