December sunshine

December has been great, the weather kind, it rained heavily only on changeover day! We have had a great mix of students with Dave and son Dan, James, Will, Simon, Richard, Steve and Nillay. The majority stayed on to complete their Club Pilot Liscence and help out one half day with our olive picking.

December has been great, the weather kind, it rained heavily only on changeover day! We have had a great mix of students with Dave and son Dan, James, will, Simon, Richard, Steve and Nillay. The majority stayed on to complete their Club pilot and help out one half day with our olive picking. Congratualtions to all pilots who stayed on to complete their Club pilot rating the following week.

We have limited our Club pilot groups to only five pilots so as to give them the best opportunity to get their Bhpa club pilot liscense and to build up Bucket loads of airtime!. A great week was had by all and British pilots returned to uk with nearly two hours flying apiece and a club pilot liscence under their belts.  Flyspain is the only fulltime approved Bhpa school working in Spain and Europe that you can achieve a Bhpa rating in conditions very similiar to the uk. Remember you get the best of everything you need, great weather, an environment similiar to that of the uk, the safety and health service back up of the EU and Bristish schooled instructors with a wealth of experience teaching abroad all year round.
Congratulations to all and I'm sure we'll see them back thermalling with us on our their new equipment.

If you want any more info on paragliding tuition or lessons, we will also be offering new deals on equipment packages for the new year.

Crisis or No Crisis...people still want to learn to fly Paragliders

Although the economy of most countries to all appearances seems fairly gloomy, it won't stop people realising their dreams and wanting Paragliding lessons. Now more than ever its important to get the most for your paragliding tuition investment. If you are going to get paragliding lessons, you must factor in fuel to the school getting in to the schools diary on weekends and of course the weather. Would it not just be easier to learn to fly abroad? What the new student never realises when they begin a course, that achieving consecutive paragliding lessons within a short period of time is all so often hampered by the British Climate.
