If the weather is good and we can do more flights then we will, to a maximum of 8 flights total for 3 days. We may also spread the schedule out depending on pilot ability and weather conditions.

Pilots can only progress onto the next manoeuvres in the schedule if they complete the preliminary ones satisfactorily. Flights may change subject to heights and winds.

Bad Weather

We can not control the weather but we do schedule our courses at times of the year to give us the best chance for good weather. The course is considered completed if pilots complete up to flight 6, (spirals). If the weather does not allow you to complete a section of the course then you are invited back to do the missed section only, at 50% off the tuition fees, (any transport and travel etc to the course is paid by the pilot).
