Day Taster £230

|
|
This is a one day introduction to paragliding, giving you a flavour of what it's all about. In this first day, we teach you parachute landing falls (PLFs) and introduce you to the equipment, pre-flight checks, and accessing the site and weather conditions.
You'll get to try your first launches, initially on the flat or down a gentle incline, and as you get used to the controls and become more confident, gradually work up through short hops a few feet off the ground towards longer and higher flights from further up the slope. Once you have completed a 1 Day taster and you wish to continue to Club Pilot you need to join the BHPA as a annual member which costs £149 then pay £170 per day, or book the elementary pilot course, both of which can be found below. |

Elementary Pilot Course £800 |
|
The Elementary pilot course is the first part of your training, we teach you from the beginning, introducing you to the equipment, and how it all works. You will learn how to get the paraglider flying above your head whilst your still on the ground (Ground handling). Then you will progress to learning to take off and land correctly, then flights a few feet off the ground in a straight line. When you can safely take off and land we progress to higher flights. After a few days you will have completed the tasks for your Elementary pilot award, then you will do a multi choice exam on the things you have covered on the course. Once you have your EP award you are then ready to progress to Club pilot.

Club Pilot Plus
|
|
CP Plus is for pilots who are qualified and have their own gear but are low on air time or haven't been out for a while and are rusty. This includes pilots that just need a few pointers to get their confidence back, or who want to extend their skill set and/or take their pilots exam, or for any other reason that's stopping them enjoying their flying.
