Have you always wanted to experience how an airplane moves in a spin and how you can reliably stop it? Or once again fly the aircraft at the limits of its envelope (upset) under expert guidance, for example when the airflow on the wing breaks off (stall) or the aircraft goes into a spiral dive. What are the reasons that you can get into such situations and how can you “rescue” yourself from them? We start with a theoretical introduction to this problem. Afterwards you will fly in the CAP-10 with the experienced acrobatic flight instructor Stefan Brunner, where you will be able to fly and recover from such situations. This should give you the confidence that you can control your aircraft safely even in special situations. If you wish, you will of course also have the opportunity to fly a few acro figures.
