Take Off & Landing Workshop: £125 per day with own motor (add £25 per day to include motor and fuel.)
Airvault, France 15th - 27th March 2010. Spain thereafter
The Take Off & Landing Workshop is designed for those that possibly don't get to fly that often, have had a little time off from flying or generally feel a little uneasy with getting in the air and back on the ground again safely. Students will get instruction in the various techniques of forward and reverse launching and will learn how to spot land safely. The workshops are on a day-by-day basis but usually two days are sufficient to get someone confident again so weekend workshops will be available.

We have some of the most fantastic terrain for doing Navigation and Cross Country flying in Europe.

Low Level/Dynamic Flying: £125 per day with own motor (add £25 per day to include motor and fuel.)
Airvault, France 15th - 27th March 2010. Spain thereafter
If you're not yet confident enough to go hedge hopping, foot-dragging or pulling wing-overs and spirals then we can point you in the right direction. Our flying sites are second to none for practicing skills that sometimes aren't possible at home due to buildings and people being in close proximity. We always have safety in mind first though and will not encourage this type of course to the wrong person.
