SIV COURSE - OLU DENIZ
(Call 01273 858170 for dates and availability)
The Course :
The Control Course is a week of intensive training with four days reserved
for manoeuvres and three days for thermalling, xc or free flying, depending on
conditions.
Being in complete control of your wing is essential for a prolonged, successful and
enjoyable flying career. It should be your aim as a pilot to be in total control. With
the knowledge and experience learnt during the Control Course, you will gain a
greater understanding and confidence in your wing.
This will not only make you a better pilot, but also a safer pilot.
The course starts with a detailed safety briefing and a synopsis of the day’s
exercises, followed by the unforgettable ride up the mountain for the first flight of
the day. After a debrief and a light lunch it will be up again for the second flight.
This will give you the opportunity to practice the previous exercises, as well as
progressing to the next. The debriefing session in the evenings, allows for a more
detailed and personal commentary on your performance.
The initial flights will focus on gaining confidence in your wing. With pitch
control exercises, 360’s, turn reversals and wing overs, you will understand
the relationship between pendulum forces, speed and energy. This will enable
you to progress more confidently through the more demanding manoeuvres:
Asymmetric deflation, symmetric deflation, search for stall/spin, full stall and
rapid descent techniques.
The aim of the week is learning and progression; depending on your level this
could mean anything from tight turns to tumbling. The course is tailored exactly
to your needs.
Course Outline:
Day1- Orientation flight /Safety Briefing.

scenery of golden beaches, Olu Deniz is an amazing backdrop to undertake
your training. The take off is at 6500 ft from Baba Dag (Father Mountain).
After a 10 min glide you’ll still have 4000 ft to play with above the sea. This
is the best place I know in the world for this sort of flying.
You will need:
Glider
Harness
Reserve parachute
Helmet
2m Radio
Medical repatriation insurance (bring a copy)
