Competency-based
training
The ACD's DTO has enough aircraft, flight instructors (FI) and classrooms to train around a hundred student pilots a year. Flight training takes place at Le Versoud (LFLG) and Grenoble Alpes Isère (LFLS), on Robin DR 400/120, DR 400/160, DR 401 (Eco-flyer), D140 Mousquetaire, Cap 10 (aerobatics) and Savannah S (microlight). All programmes use a competency-based training and assessment method, in line with the training programmes approved by the FFA (French Aeronautical Federation).
Competency-based training is a teaching method founded on mastering the competencies (skills and knowledge) needed to perform real-world tasks.
Key competencies
- Managing and controlling an aircraft
- Planning and following flight paths
- Situational awareness
