A Course Progresses in Four Stages
The same sequential training flow is applied at every level — from theory to flight, from instructor supervision to independent assessment.
Theoretical Training
Covered in modules in a classroom setting: equipment, aerodynamics, meteorology, airspace and safety topics are explained at a level-appropriate scope.
Ground Training
Pre-flight equipment preparation, ground handling (wing inflation/control) and takeoff-landing techniques are practiced on the ground before flying.
Flight Training
Takeoff, flight and landing tasks performed under instructor guidance via radio; takeoff altitude and maneuver scope increase by level.

Output competencies are assessed by the instructor; successful trainees are issued a level card and granted the right to progress to the next level.
