Elementary Pilots Qualified

June 2, 2008 on 11:16 pm | In Paragliding |

May was a beautiful month giving good flying conditions on the Isle of Arran. Lots of students and fundays.  Grigor and Amanda completed their Elementary pilots course whilst on a weeks holiday camping in Glen Rosa.

Flying Fever is a British Hang gliding and Paragliding Registered School with qualified instructors.  The training and ratings given are recongnised internationally.  The first course is the Elementary Pilot which normally takes 5 days followed by the Club pilot course. You are working through a series of tasks - we are not looking just to tick the boxes but to help create qualified thinking pilots who will continue flying safely in the sport once they leave the school enviroment.

The length of the course depends on the individual and on the weather conditions.  It is like learning how to drive so everyone takes a differant time.  Currency is an issue so we offer a season pass that lets you come over and fly as many days as you want in the one season.  More details of the courses and a list of the tasks  on www.flyingfever.net  you can find a list of registered BHPA schools and clubs on www.bhpa.co.uk
