If you are the type of person for whom time is almost impossible to get off at any other time of year then this flying course is designed esecially for you.

For the first time we are running a
WOMENS ONLY COURSE 25th Feb - 5th March.
This is due to many women coming to us throughout the years asking about such courses where women can get together and fly at their own levels without the constant pressure and competition that men sometimes bring to a course. Please feel free to organise your own little group of friends if you wish or just come along and join in. Minimum EP rated. Please call for more details.

Flying Courses
With no previous flying experience needed we will train you all the way to CP level in just 14 days. Starting off on the sand dunes near the beach we will teach you to ground handle your canopy and do some gentle flights off the dunes.

As you progress we find ourselves on bigger dunes and hills near the beach. Going on the the main ridge will be supported with plenty of tandem flights with the student taking the controls to gain confidence with the higher flights. Early morning and late evening top to bottoms will follow with lectures during the heat of the day when flying for inexperienced students could be a little tricky.

Once a bit more experience is gained students will be clocking up the hours with soaring flights and top landings. Once CP is reached the lessons don't need to end. We will be quite happy to carry on your education with learning to use the thermals and working towards tasks for Pilot level.

Flight Details

The flight details above are with Thomsonfly and are a suggestion only. Prices at time of writing this were around £180 per flight. There are other airlines, such as First Choice or British Airways, that travel from the UK to Agadir but pick up and drop off times will coincide with these times. It may be possible to fly on different days and arrangements can be made for pick up and drop off but at your cost.

If you are booking other flights or arranging your own transport you should be aiming to get to Agadir Airport, or there abouts, for around 8pm local time in order to catch the minibus to the hotel.

Transport to and from the airport is arranged for these times. Arriving or leaving at any other time may mean making your own arrangements. Please call for more details.

Should the worst happen it is important that we all have repatriation insurance cover etc. Normal policies that you may already have may not include sports, or injuries sustained through these sports, such as Paragliding. There are companies that do and one of the better ones is mentioned below.
