I don't do good decisions very often, but learning to paraglide with Fly Spain was definitely one of them

Algodonales is one of the world's tiny communities that cherishes the pilots who come to visit and fly the skies above

Hugh Millar

Having spent years in the Army where training is always on going it was a pleasure to watch a well run course, slowly building up the confidence of the students.

Brian Freeman

did have a great time, partly as a result of the flying and partly as a result of your informal and friendly attitude

Jonathon Chutter

Thanks for all your patience and encouragement. It was clear we were in very safe hands, and you gave us the confidence we needed to fly!

Hi Nic Quick line to say thanks to you, Rob and Lee for a great week last week

Having offered Siv weeks in Turkey for many years we can now offer the same service closer to home. This year we are providing an opportunity to get some monster flights over freshwater with a chance to build in some real valuable experience about how your glider flies and what to do when greeted with the unexpected.

Pilotage

The French have been offering a Pilotage course for years, the difference to a full Siv course is that its slightly trimmed down and aimed at the newer pilot. Its essential to get to grips with the pitch control and behavior of your glider in unstable air. There is nothing to fear in deflations when you realise how stable your glider really is.

Equally schools all over the world encourage you to climb high all the time but there are few safely educating you on how to get down in a safe and sensible fashion. Everyone can yank a brake toggle and have a go but practicing essential life saving manoeuvres over water is imperative and should form a regular part of your flying education.

Your regular Xc pilot almost never ponders stalling a glider, we concentrate on keeping them in one piece and going around in circles but deflations in thermic air can happen so preperation is everything!

So pilotage a course aimed at boosting your confidence not wrecking it!

No towing experience will be needed
No mountain or Tele cabin passes
We will provide tow bridles
Towing over fresh water lakes
Optional Reserve deployment practise
Gas inflated life jackets and water proof bags
You will need to bring all your kit as you like to fly it.
Course limited to 8 pilots
The remainder of the week we will free fly around Andalucia.

Reserve deployments - the one piece of equipment you never practise using! So if your tempted we'll even lend you a spare reserve whilst yours dries out!
