     Intermediate (Club) Pilot Course (PG)

     Paragliding and Hang Gliding in Algodonales (Spain) with FlySpain
 
A progressive course aimed at pilots who wish to free fly and adventure on their own. Follows more or less the same as the British syllabus, whether you are picking up where you left of with us or coming from another school. Depending on how current you are we will initially concentrate on some essential basics.

We will spend some time either at the dunes on the coast or on nearby slopes making sure you have good and comfortable skills in Alpine and Reverse launching our glider.You will then be fully equipped with a fitted reserve and radio on all flights. The radio is for coaching in glider skills and manoeuvres only or when flying on much larger sites where a simple flight to the landing field might take up to 15 minutes. Our aim is to produce a freethinking pilot not a radio controlled one so radios are there mostly as a safety and coaching aid.

   Itinerary & Highlights

  Our aim for this course is to teach you the finer points of flying. We would expect you by the end of the week to be both confident and conversant with soaring, pitch control and utilising available lift (i.e. some basic thermalling) and top landing where appropriate, Big Ears decent technique, accelerator systems & circuit landings, 360's and possible rhythmic turns.

The week will be broken up with slightly more in depth lectures on Weather, Flight theory and Air law with a multiple choice exam at the end of the week.

Remember we offer glider & tuition packages for the second and first weeks so do inquire about a glider training package to suit you.

Please bear in mind some basic reading is always handy prior to the lectures...See suggested reading below.
