STEP 1
Pre-delivery training course in Slovenia

High performance fundamentals on Pipistrel Virus SW aircraft

  • Speed range pitch/power/trim adjustments
  • Acceleration and deceleration considerations
  • High AOA/UPRT
  • Short field operations
  • Emergencies

With a wide operating speed range the Virus, being a complex type allows pilots to gain the skills needed in high performance operations. High AOA awareness and AUPRT (advanced upset and prevention training) is undertaken in the spin approved Virus, building  the valuable resilience and confidence skills needed to ensure safe and competent wide range aircraft envelope operations.

The Virus is glass-cockpit and autopilot equipped allowing the automation traps and operations to be fully understood. When to use automation and when to not, allowing you to fully exploit your high performance Risen aircraft.

Pre-delivery course - simulator training

Pre-delivery training course in Slovenia (high performance fundamentals on VR Simulator)

VR Simulator, comprehensive training modules including:

  • X-Wind & Tailwind Training: Conducted in a simulator, challenging conditions are simulated to teach pilot skills and competencies to the highest level.
  • Weather Exposure: En-route and approach scenarios emphasize TEM (threat & error management) during high-speed operations, building resilience to adapt to changing conditions.
  • Emergency Situations: The VR simulator allows pilots to practice failure management effectively.
  • High-Speed Approach Training: Taught in a simulator to safely exploit the airfield envelope for both short field and complex high-traffic airports.

I recently completed the advanced UPRT course with Akademija 4. Overall great experience. Very well organized course and Neil is a brilliant instructor. And this on a theoretical or technical level as well as the practical, human side. Relaxed and positive atmosphere. Nice aircraft too. Highly recommended!

I would absolutely advise all pilots (including PPL, ULN) to attend AUPRT training with the Academy4 team. It is like a training course for safe flying. It was brilliant to experience moments that can happen in the air and to embed in your brain the correct reactions. This makes distractions, if they occur, more familiar and much easier to handle properly. Thank you, Academy4 team, and especially my instructor Neil.
