What's included
The EP course is designed to bring the complete beginner up to the accredited BHPA level of Elementary Pilot.
At the end of the course the pilot should be capable of site selection, weather assesment, self launch and adequate flight planning to perform a flight with turns and a landing within a designated area.
The classroom work comprises theory sessions on flight theory, meteorology and airlaw. Your knowledge will be tested with a short multiple choice exam at the end of the course.
By the end of the course you should have experienced the truly wonderful sensation of floating high above the ground with our stunning scenery laid out before you. Certainly, you will know whether you have the desire and ability to progress on to the CP course where soaring and top landing skills will be added to your repertoire.
Once you have achieved this level you are also able to purchase your first paraglider on which you can complete your training.
