Instructor Update: Cesar

It’s been almost a year since your last update and what a year it’s been for you! As a team we’re super proud of how you handled the ups and downs that being a Professional Pilot threw at you.

Tell us about your new sponsor and what we can expect from the relationship

Now I’m working together with BGD, is a brand that in the last years has been pushing forward on development of products, I’ve been been super happy to try all of them like the Diva 2 the Base 3 and the C glider coming up soon.

Tell us a little about last year in the Acro Championships.

In the Acro comps last year unfortunately it was a big fight to keep going, there was no support at all and I even had to modify the glider to make it work during the comps, so definitely 2024 season was not my best year.

Some memories from last year instructing for Rise.

With Rise I been learning a lot of how to work individually depending on the goal of each pilot! Been working with students that could be my sweet grandpa and also other students that could be my little bother, have been a pleasure to work with both and definitely besides the teaching have been more like a life experience of how to work with all different kind of nice people.

What are your plans for this year?

This year I’m working full on with BGD, testing products and developing a exciting project as well, so I hope during the summer to present what we been working on and also to compete on it.

Other than flying what have you been doing for fun?

Mainly I like to play video games, I try to spend my time on that, also doing some work out and hanging out with my friends and family in Colombia.

Some advice for this year’s students.

My advice is: please be aware of your own instincts, if you don’t feel good one day, even if the conditions are amazing, try to find a answer of why your self is telling you to not go, and if you don’t have an answer try to keep your self safe.

Also remember we are 24/7 available for you! Any information please let as know, don’t try to do things with out the opinion of your instructors!

Fly safe, love you all.
