Personally, I don’t particularly like being monitored and watched by someone else. That was the case back in driving school, and it’s still the case today during safety training. One question that has been on my mind for quite some time is therefore: Can I replace a professional SIV (SIV – Simulation d’Incidents en Vol, meaning ‘simulation of in-flight incidents’) with an SIV that I carry out myself?
The number of remote-controlled devices that you might want to control whilst flying is constantly increasing. The smartphone app, the 3D camera and Zello, to name but a few. Wouldn’t it be useful if you could operate all these devices using a keypad without having to take your hands off the breaks? That’s exactly what AeroRemote offers.

Bassano del Grappa, one of the best-known flying areas in the Southern Alps, is primarily renowned for its excellent cross-country flying opportunities. However, there is also plenty on offer here for hike-and-fly enthusiasts. One hike suitable even for those who are less fit is the ascent to Tappetti, which is relatively easy to manage. The Stella Alpina launch site is also located along the way.
