Advanced Pilot Development: Build Airtime and Flying Experience
Who it is for: Pilots who have completed their initial training and want to become more confident, consistent and capable in the air.
What you learn
Designed for pilots who have completed their initial training and want to become more confident, consistent and capable in the air. The focus is on gaining additional flying hours, improving active piloting skills, refining launch and landing techniques, developing better airspace awareness, and learning to make sound decisions in changing conditions. Training is adapted to each pilot's experience and goals.
Prerequisites, duration, price and inclusions are discussed on enquiry. Dates are arranged by enquiry, subject to instructor availability, weather and operational requirements.

Soaring and Ridge Flying
Who it is for: Pilots who want to develop their ability to use ridge lift and maintain flight efficiently in suitable conditions.
What you learn
Develop your ability to use ridge lift and maintain flight efficiently in suitable conditions. This programme focuses on understanding ridge dynamics, reading the terrain, positioning relative to the ridge, managing speed and energy, maintaining safe separation from other pilots, and making appropriate decisions as conditions change. The goal is to help pilots improve their consistency, confidence and understanding of soaring techniques under appropriate supervision.
Prerequisites, duration, price and inclusions are discussed on enquiry. Dates are arranged by enquiry, subject to instructor availability, weather and operational requirements.

Thermaling and Extended Airtime
Who it is for: Pilots who want to progress beyond straightforward flights and develop the skills needed to find, enter, centre and climb in thermals.
What you learn
For pilots who want to progress beyond straightforward flights and develop the skills needed to find, enter, centre and climb in thermals. Training focuses on recognising thermal indicators, understanding lift and surrounding air movement, choosing appropriate entry points, refining turning technique, maintaining awareness of other pilots, managing altitude and making informed decisions about when to continue or leave a thermal. The emphasis is on developing practical thermaling skills, improving airtime and building a foundation for longer flights and future cross-country progression.
Prerequisites, duration, price and inclusions are discussed on enquiry. Dates are arranged by enquiry, subject to instructor availability, weather and operational requirements.
