Instructors – Qualified for the job

Our instructors are highly qualified – all with years of aerobatic and UPRT teaching  experience,  ranging from world class aerobatic competition to thousands of hrs. flying airlines.

While UPRT is not aerobatic flying, expertice in aerobatic flying ensures familiarity with all attitudes as well as high angle of attack flying, thus providing the extra room for safe manuvering during training.
All instructors for the EASA 745.A, Advanced UPRT Course are qualified according to EASA part FCL.915(e)

Aircraft – Qualified for the job

LenAir use the Robin R2160, Super Decathlon or Extra 200 for Advanced UPRT, Aerobatic and tail wheel training.
Our UPRT training Aircraft are rated in the aerobatic category.
The Acrobatic rated ensures the ability of the aircraft to safely perform all the upset maneuvres forming the program safely – i.e. with great margin to the limitations of the aircraft.
Our CAA approved training contains all the required manouvres including negative G maneouvres.

The Robin R2160 is a popular aerobatic trainer used for UPRT training worldwide. The side-by-side seating and nose wheel configuration is very familiar to most students.  With G-limits of +6/-3 G, a safe and wide margin to UPRT training maneuvers is ensured thus alowing the student to explore not only the required +2,5/-1 G but also outside this, still with a good margin.

The Super Decathlon is the most used aerobatic trainer, capable of a full set of aerobatic maneuvres including maintaining inverted flight. The airplane has very good maneuvreability and spin caracteristics, while at the same time being easy and intuitive to fly – a real pleasure.
Seating is tandem   – you are sitting in the front seat – have exeptionally good view from the pilots seat: forward, both sides and up.

The Extra 200 a world class aerobatic trainer – a two seat version of the world champion Extra 330 SC. with a limit of +/- 10G, light controls and an impressive roll rate you will be overwelmed and enjoy to the fullest.

Utility aircraft may be rated structurally to negative G, but practically speaking it is not realistic. One important finding: during negative G, the engine oil will leave the engine thru the ventilation tube – this could not only mean an unplesant cleaning job, but it should be considered a safety problem.
Since incipient spins are trained, the aircraft shall not only be certified for spins but also perform these safely to allow the student to perform these. It is not acceptable doing incipient spins ie. on the borderline to spins, with an aircraft not approved for spins – for safety.
