FAQs: Club Pilot Course

Everything you need to know about the 10-day integrated program.

The Club Pilot Course is a continuous, integrated program (P1+P2+P2 Advanced) offering deep skill retention and a discounted, streamlined schedule over 10 days, accelerating your journey to confident, independent flying.

Accommodation and local transport to and from the flying sites are usually available as add-ons. Please check the 'Inclusions' section or inquire directly for the full package details. We can help arrange suitable stays near the flying zone.

Yes, the course includes Theory and Practical modules on Thermal Flying – identifying thermal indicators, entering thermals safely, and centering to gain altitude, a key skill for cross-country flying.

Upon successful completion of all required tasks and knowledge tests, you will be certified as an APPI Novice Pilot (P2), authorized for unsupervised flying at recognized sites.

During the course, all essential safety gear is provided, including beginner-friendly (EN A) gliders, harness with back protection, helmets, and a two-way radio for constant instructor guidance during flights.

While the course is structured over 10 intensive days for optimal skill building, flexibility can be arranged if necessary. However, continuity is highly recommended for retaining motor skills and theoretical knowledge.

The minimum age is 15 (with parental consent). The ideal weight range is typically between 45 kg and 95 kg, as our student gliders are certified for this range. Please discuss any concerns outside this range with us prior to booking.

The program requires a minimum of 20 successful flights to achieve P2 certification standards, spread across the 10 days. This includes high-altitude training flights and advanced precision landing attempts.

Absolutely. We maintain a very low student-to-instructor ratio (typically 4:1) for all practical P2 and Advanced modules to ensure personalized feedback, critical safety supervision, and focused skill development.

Yes, the APPI (Association of Paragliding Pilots and Instructors) P2 rating is an internationally recognized standard, allowing you to fly at many sites globally (subject to local regulations and registration).

The Advanced Skills component focuses heavily on Reverse Take-offs, Complex Site Assessment (reading micro-weather and turbulence), and intensive Active Flying drills for superior pitch and roll control.

As part of the course, your instructor will provide personalized consultation on suitable EN A or low EN B gliders and harness models matching your skill, body weight, and budget. We strongly advise using this consultation before purchase.

If you require more flights or practice days due to weather interruptions or individual learning pace, we offer supervised continuation days at a reduced rate until you meet the P2 certification standards.

No, all training equipment rental, site fees, and mandatory instruction costs for the 10-day period are included in the Club Pilot Course price.
