Get ready for the RIDE OF YOUR LIFE!
Once you have purchased your equipment, you will be scheduled for your training. Your first day will be dedicated to learning the fundamentals of kiting. Kiting the wing and controlling it will be instrumental in executing a safe and stable launch. Your ground school will involve many aspects of aviation but kiting will be practiced at every session, winds permitting.
Simulator time is very important for rehearsing procedures before getting in to the air. While in the simulator, you will be taught smooth throttle inputs, brake travel, and a number of aspects that are better learned before you solo.
Your solo day will be very carefully chosen. Midwest PPG wants your solo to be as uneventful and enjoyable as possible. The type of air that you experience on your solo should be as smooth as possible. Your instructor will test the air just before you fly. Midwest PPG will not rush you into the air and forget about you. Your instructor will work with you on as many flights as needed before we send you off on your own. Our goal is to create well-trained, safe and confident pilots.
