Our Shark-approved conversion program builds your confidence from day one. Build solid habits with clarity, not guesswork. Upskilling will provide a deeper sense of ownership, making your Shark more familiar, more responsive, and more fun. ##### **How it works** **Day 1** Systems briefings and practical exercises to build procedural understanding and confidence. ##### **Days 2-4** *Prepare → Brief → Fly → Debrief → Repeat*: 3 days of competence-based flying training that scales with experience and stays with you long after the training ends. ##### **Training locations** Slovakia (LZSE), Germany (EDSN, EDRT, EDGB)  ##### *“I started the Shark training with 110 total flight hours. Shortly after completing my training, I flew a trip under challenging conditions—and the last thing I had to worry about was handling the aircraft. The conversion training made me proficient and confident in all phases of flight with the Shark, while also sharpening my decision-making skills. As a result, I could focus on making sound judgments and managing the situation safely. The program was exceptionally thorough, well-structured, and helped me grow as a pilot overall.” * ##### *Markus, Shark owner, EDAK* [Request Conversion Training Details](mailto:info@wingmanaviation.de) ![TCS image for Training page sm](https://www.wingmanaviation.de/hs-fs/hubfs/TCS%20image%20for%20Training%20page%20sm.jpg?width=2000&height=1125&name=TCS%20image%20for%20Training%20page%20sm.jpg) ![die shark parallax](https://www.wingmanaviation.de/hubfs/die%20shark%20parallax.jpg) #### Advanced & bespoke training ##### **Take your flying further** Pilots who never stop improving use our bespoke training to refine their edge.
