Elementary Pilot Certificate (EPC) with Airways Airsports at Darley Moor Airfield
This is a further 4 days of training towards becoming a paramotor pilot where we build on your paragliding flying skills. All the time we look to refine every aspect of your flying from forwards launch & ground handling to inflight control & light easy well executed landings. (We will also start to build your knowledge on Meteorology , air law & theory of flight)on their profile?

AvPay: Connecting Glider Pilots with Gliding Clubs Worldwide!

Adult Gliding Trial Lesson with Lincolnshire Gliding Club at Strubby Airfield On AvPay

Weather plays a significant role in gliding, and pilots need to have a basic understanding of meteorology. Topics covered may include atmospheric stability, cloud formations, wind patterns, weather systems, and the interpretation of weather forecasts and reports. Pilots learn about navigation techniques, map reading, airspace regulations, and flight planning. This includes understanding charts, plotting routes, calculating headings, estimating fuel consumption, and considering factors like airspace restrictions and meteorological conditions. Pilots study the various systems and instruments found in gliders. This includes understanding the flight instruments, cockpit controls, emergency equipment, and operating procedures for launching, landing, and in-flight operations. Knowledge of glider performance characteristics and limitations is essential for safe flying. Pilots learn about weight and balance considerations, performance charts, maximum operating speeds, manoeuvring limitations, and the effects of load factors on glider behaviour. Pilots need to be familiar with aviation regulations and rules that govern glider operations. This includes knowledge of airspace classifications, right-of-way rules, radio communications, flight plans, and local regulations specific to glider operations. Pilots are trained in emergency procedures and decision-making. This includes topics such as handling in-flight emergencies, emergency landings, parachute deployment, and emergency equipment usage. Understanding human factors and safety considerations is crucial for maintaining a high level of safety in gliding. Pilots study topics such as situational awareness, pilot workload management, crew resource management, decision-making, and recognizing and mitigating risks. Pilots learn the theoretical principles behind glider performance, including factors affecting glide ratio, sink rate, and best glide speed. This knowledge helps pilots optimize their flights and make informed decisions during cross-country soaring. Pilots are trained in the techniques and strategies for cross-country soaring, including thermal soaring, ridge soaring, wave soaring, and utilizing lift sources effectively during long-distance flights. These subjects are typically covered through a combination of ground school classes, theoretical instruction, self-study, and practical flight training. It’s important to note that the exact curriculum and emphasis on these subjects may vary between gliding schools or training programs, but they generally provide a comprehensive foundation for becoming a proficient glider pilot.
