Please note: You must purchase (preferably complete) a Taster Day before you can start an EP Course, because the Taster Day is the first day of the EP course.
Most students achieve their Elementary Pilot within four days; a Taster Day plus an EP course (dependant on weather, your committment and availability).
Our aim with the EP Course is to teach you the primary skills of flying paragliders. Having completed the basic skills on your Taster Day you will now start to achieve much higher flights up to around 500 feet and learn how to turn the glider up to 180 degrees and make simple flight plans.
The course includes some basic theory that covers Air Law, Principles of Flight and Meteorology. After successfully completing the flying tasks, you will have a final assessment with your instructor and sit the EP exam. Achieving an EP rating simply passes you 'fit for further training' and qualifies you to enrol on the Club Pilot (CP) course.
Unlike some schools, we insist you complete a Taster Day before starting
your EP course. We do this for five very good reasons:
1. It gives you the opportunity to talk to the other students about
us and our training methods.
2. It allows you the opportunity to see if we live up to your expectations before you spend money on further courses.
3. It gives us the opportunity to see if you have the necessary spatial awareness, coordination and attitude to be able to fly safely.
4. It counts toward your EP course, so it saves you money.
5. Most importantly: we really don't want to take your money unless you are 100% sure of what you're getting yourself involved in.
