Association Aéronautique Verdon Alpilles

Our permanent staff

Our Organization, which rallies approximately 500 members could not work smoothly with volunteers only. This is why a whole team of permanent employees with adequate abilities and qualifications has been recruited, to make the practice of our sport easier and safer.

Our Chief-flying Instructor: Antoine SERRES

Antoine started gliding at Vinon in the 90s, before going on to work for the club as an instructor. In the early 2000s, Antoine returned to his native region to become chief pilot of the Moissac club.
Fortunately for us, after an enriching experience at the CNVV in Saint-Auban, then at FGS in Vinon, he is back with our team to pilot all the activities of our association.
Antoine has all the qualifications needed to supervise our activities (glider instructor, microlight instructor, tow pilot, LNMA holder), but he also holds a state diploma in the management of gliding sports activities.

Maintenance manager and gliding instructor: Stéphane EHRHARDT

Stéphane has been a member of the AAVA for several years and joined us as an employee in 2015. His skills and responsibilities are broad since he holds a Part 66 mechanic's license and, as such, actively participates in the maintenance of AAVA planes and gliders. Stéphane is also a glider instructor and reinforces the teaching team in the good season when the load at the workshop level is less strong.

Gliding instructor: Nicolas HENRY

Nicolas was recruited in 2022 to strengthen the teaching team. As such, his first mission is to carry out initial and campaign training under the responsibility of the Chief Pilot.

In the absence of the Chief Pilot, it is he who takes charge of the responsibilities related to the aerial activity for the smooth running of the association.

 

During the season, our team is also reinforced by instructors and seasonal tugs.

Secretary
