OVERSEAS
FLYING SAFARI COURSES
Thermalling,
mountain, SIV and XC trips
Butterfly was the
first to offer overseas paragliding holidays from the UK,
(20 years ago!) and has established experience and contacts
in many destinations, worldwide.
CP Mountain.
A mentored introduction to mountain flying for UK pilots.
How long before this becomes a BHPA rating. Don't go there
on your own... mountain flying is different!
Thermalling.
Getting up and staying up in thermals, techniques skills
and assessments.
SIV. We have
been teaching SIV since the very early days. Our CFI, Butterfly
Dave, favours the conservative approach; active defensive
flight planning and control inputs, training pilots to keep
the wing in the flight envelope and to recover smartly from
unstable configurations. It is about flight safety, not
acro, a fairground ride or a boob tube video lark. We explore
theory and practice of deflations, rapid descent manoevers,
and the dynamics of pitch and roll. Theory of dynamic full
stall and spin is covered in detail, however, full stall
and developed spin practical is not intended for our first
level course (they cause inexperienced pilots more problems
than they cure, in our experience). Point of stall recovery
and point of spin recovery are included in the exercises.
Cross Country.
XC flight is a subtle art relying on knowledge experience
skill and luck, we find that as we supplement your knowledge,
build your experience and hone your skills.... your luck
improves dramatically!
