Led by Seiko Fukuoka
Train with a multi-time World & European Champion and active test pilot. Seiko’s calm, precise radio guidance and mental coaching correct your technique in the air, not weeks later. Small groups keep the focus on you.
Over-Water. Fully Supervised.
Every drill runs above Lake Annecy with a safety boat on standby and flotation vests provided. One-by-one radio coaching keeps workloads low and decisions clear. We brief, check equipment, and debrief after every flight.
Structure + Video = Memory
Follow a proven progression from fundamentals to advanced maneuvers. HD video debriefs turn each flight into actionable insights you can re-watch and remember. You leave with a personal improvement plan for your next flights.
