Learning is self-paced. Beyond piloting, it contributes to personal development by providing a variety of knowledge such as meteorology, aerology, mechanics, electronics, navigation...
For everyone, learning to fly is a real "school of life", a theoretical and practical training that develops rigor, concentration and accountability in an environment rich in associative values.
The pilot's license is a recognized and appreciated opening, not only towards training and careers in aeronautics, but also towards many other fields.
Glider flight is practiced within the CVVL with members of all ages who share the same enthusiasm, the same joy in piloting and passing on their experience as well as their passion.
This is an activity that requires rigor, skills and efficiency, as a result the CVVL is supervised by state-qualified instructors according to theoretical and practical training (ATO-FFVP), approved by the Directorate General of Aviation Civil (DGAC).
