Small groups mean more tasks achieved.
We specialise in Elementary and Club Pilot courses. A good Instructor student ratio,will
make sure you have the right environment to progress quickly and safely as possible. We DO
NOT teach large groups, stag or fun days allowing our dedicated BHPA Instructors to give
you the personal tuition you require, in a calm and relaxed atmosphere, on our exclusive
private sites. |
| HOW
LONG DOES IT TAKE? |
The training time before a student can fly unsupervised
will depend on the individuals aptitude and weather conditions. First you have to achieve
Elementary Pilot, which takes on average 4 days. These do not have to be taken
consecutively. Still remaining under school supervision, the next step is to gain Club
Pilot, this takes about 5 days tuition. Once you have Club Pilot you can fly unsupervised.
This is a general guide as a license is achieved by passing set tasks. |
