On Day 2, at Nevers-Fourchambault airport, Théophile and his team-mates, under the guidance of the Fédération Française Aéronautique through its Deputy DTN Jérôme Houdier, went from theory to practice.

From then on, each auto pilot worked with his or her aeronautical partner, designated the day before, to prepare a routine on the ground before boarding a two-seater Extra 330 to reproduce the defined program of figures in flight, controls in hand.

Théophile loved it: “Jhere are no words to describe what I’ve just been through, it’s a unique experience. I was able to face a new challenge, with negative Gs above all – it’s crazy! With this experience and the various lessons learned the day before, I’m sure I’ll be able to optimize my performance. A big thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially Jean Alesi, our captain.

FRECA’s next event takes place on June 8 at Zandvoort.
