Welcome to the Soaring Master Course: Here I’m going to show you what high performance pilots don’t share: I’ve developed a training method which identifies performance gaps and with in-depth lectures, flight analysis and proposed training sessions it will improve pilots’ cross country techniques, decision making, planning, and make them achieve their goals in a faster and safer way.

Sergio, is an experienced Cross Country Soaring pilot and soaring coach. He has flown sailplanes since 2007, in different regions of the world like the Andes, Alps and LEM. He acted as invited soaring coach of the Brazilian Air Force Soaring Team, and coached more than 150 pilots. Since 2018 he created the @soaringmaster Instagram channel to share knowledge, flights and the daily life of a soaring pilot, and developed the Soaring Master Course, an online course that teaches advanced techniques and a self-training method developed for soaring pilots
This method has already been tested with great success helping pilots from both civilian and military background of more than 15 different nations to excel:
No, this is an 100% online course composed of more than 60 pre-recorded lectures. There will be online live classes (which will be recorded so everyone can review them). It’s 100% online course
Yes, if you can ask for a refund within 15 days after purchasing the course.
No, this course teaches a training method and cross country techniques by using in-depth online lectures. It is not a theoretical SPL course: It’s a training method for soaring pilots in the form of an online course. reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
The course’s online content will be available for you for 3 years.
Yes, pilots from all experience levels can benefit from this course.
In english language, but the e-learning platform offers automatically generated captions.
This course does not grant any license, and it is not a Theoretical Course valid for any Private Pilot License.
This course is a primer for soaring pilots, but it does not grant you any kind of cross-country endorsement: your club workflow and your CFI are preponderant.
This course is not a direct mentorship. No individual flights will be analyzed. This course will teach YOU how to analyze your flights.
