Some pilots arrive at SIV and want to Backfly, Helico, SAT…

Some arrive wanting to understand every step in details and take it slow…
Both are valid. Both work.

At Flying Karlis SIV, we don't have a fixed programme, we have your programme.
We talk before we fly. We understand where you are, what you want.. Then we build a training that makes sense for you, whether that's pushing limits or solidifying foundations.

Your wing isn't the thing holding you back.

Your reflexes are.

SIV is where you rewire them — over the water, where a mistake costs nothing but a swim.
Three days with me at Lake Garda this autumn. Small group, eight pilots max, every run tailored to where you are right now.
Every flight filmed, with an individual debrief after each one and a daily video de-brief to keep.

My job is to get you to a place where you don't need me anymore. That's how I make the sport safer.

📅 September: 23–25 · 27–29
📅 October: 1–3 · 5–7

📍 Malcesine, Lake Garda · €945

Thermalling? You're rotating. Landing approach? Rotating.

Every wingover, every spiral, every tight turn to avoid traffic, it’s all about rotations. It's the most fundamental thing we do in the air.

Before we teach you an autorotation, backfly… we teach you rotation and how to exit in a safe way. Every axis. Every input. Every reaction, understood in a rotation first, before we take it further.

Who should train backfly?
Not every pilot needs competition-level backfly control. But every pilot who flies in turbulent conditions, who leads others in the air, or who wants to genuinely understand their glider's behaviour, should have at least one deliberate backfly experience under supervision.
If you have never felt your glider behind you and stayed calm, you have a blind spot. SIV is the place to close it.

Reverse parking exercise! 😅

Once entering and exiting the Back-fly is clear, it's time to slow the process down and really understand the details. Staying in it and actually piloting the wing backwards helps this goal. The more we do it, the simpler it seems. Repetition is key.

This is Domen's second SIV with us, we played with the presision of things more than can be done in one course, to progress furthermore in your wing control.
