The APPI Tandem ProWorkshop was held in Isfahan, a historic city in central Iran and a key launch site for Iranian XC pilots.
For the first time, APPI courses were conducted in collaboration with Eagles of the Sky Company under the supervision of the Civil Aviation Organization of Iran.
Five professional pilots participating in the Tandem ProCourse attended these theoretical sessions after successfully completing the practical prerequisites for tandem flying under the guidance of Instructor Mehdi Khebredast. Additionally, 22 other pilots joined the workshop to enhance their theoretical knowledge.
The training took place over five days, from March 5, 2025, from 9 AM to 6 PM, and was led by Master Shahin Fallah, Instructor Fatemeh Eftekhari, and Instructor Mohammad Semnani.
The curriculum covered essential topics such as aerodynamics, meteorology, piloting techniques, equipment inspection and maintenance, as well as critical safety guidelines for both professional and tandem pilots.
According to participants, the course provided a comprehensive range of essential information while also debunking and analyzing many widespread misconceptions and unsafe practices in the community.
The workshop concluded with a closing ceremony, attended by high-ranking civil aviation officials, during which certificates of participation were awarded to the pilots.
