CP Completion Course Overview

The frustration often suffered by enthusiastic new EP pilots desperately trying to get through the pilot rating system to CP is almost palpable. If it is not the "good old" British weather that causes delay after delay it is the problem of finding a school that isn't booked solid, trying to shift their backlog of students. We offer CP/Novice completion courses here at La Motte du Caire, in the Alpes de Haute Provence, France, where the sun shines most of the time. Once you have completed all the required tasks you can sit your CP/Novice exam on the spot and return home a qualified CP Pilot.

The CP Course

This course is all about airtime. We fly every day building up the hours and experience you need to fly safely with other pilots. Our sites are not crowded and are perfect for soaring and completing all the manoeuvres needed including your deflations, slow flying, top and spot landings. We expect you to study each evening for about 30 minutes in order to grasp the theory needed to pass the CP exam once all your tasks are completed. We aim to give you experience of 3 different sites during your stay to give a better understanding of flying conditions as they vary from place to place.

We are a BHPA school operated by Senior Instructors with years of alpine flying experience and an excellent safety record, so you can be sure that the instruction you receive will be of the highest quality available.

We use radio communications to facilitate "realtime" instruction and video for briefing and debriefing students as needed - you can even take a video copy home with you if you wish.

Once you have completed the tasks and made it to CP/Novice level we continue flying with any remaining time, to ensure that you gain as much airtime as possible during your stay with us. An average EP pilot, in a week might normally expect to get about 8 - 15 hours of soaring, depending, of course upon the individual pilots ability and the prevailing conditions. How long will it take for you to get that much soaring in the UK? Buying a Paraglider?

Once you have completed this course you can come back to us, learn thermalling and work towards gaining the hours needed for Pilot rating.
