Gusty Wind Training Day

 

​If others stay home when the wind picks up, you will be out learning.

Join Cloudbase Kenya for an exhilarating one-day training experience built entirely around ground handling in gusty conditions.

​

What you will learn:

•  Hands Free control to keep your wing stable in crazy wind

• Managing gusts and sudden surges: train your reflexes to react instantly when a freak gust hits.

• Small-wing handling: progress from your everyday wing onto a nimble 13 sqm wing. Your reflexes will work winds not imagined possible.

• Dune flying fundamentals: take the skills you build and use them on the dunes.

​

The compression is real:

You will absorb more in this single day than most pilots pick up over a full year of casual ground handling.

The training will of course be gently adjusted to your skill level.

​

How the day runs:

Your day begins with an early morning pickup and a scenic drive into the Rift Valley. We start gently, warming up on a slope, refreshing your takeoffs with small, controlled hops and rebuilding confidence in moving air.

As conditions build through the morning, we step down to the smaller 13 sqm wing.

Here the real learning happens: new techniques, tighter reactions, and eventually confident, composed handling in genuinely strong wind.

By the afternoon you will be reading gusts differently, controlling the wing calmly through lulls and surges, and finishing the day with a new skill set and bright confidence.

The day ends with a drop off back in Nairobi in the late afternoon.
