TRIKE LAUNCH TRAINING

Trike Launch Training is best suited for current alumni and pilots who are already foot launching successfully. This is a trike only course which will teach you the details of how trikes work, the variety of trikes available and their options, maintenance, set-up/tear-down for travel. This course can transition into a tandem exemption if the pilot shows the appropriate aptitude, and decision making.

Trike training is not currently being offered as of January 2024, we are in process of creating a new trike offering.
