What a blast! I’ve just completed the EP BHPA qualification and couldn’t be happier. I was a little hesitant to commit to this course as it seemed expensive compared to what I had seen advertised elsewhere. But I have no regrets; it has felt professional and worthwhile all the way through. I feel well prepared to continue learning and practicing flying.
Firstly, I have found the entire learning experience great!
The instructors have been clear in their instructions and lessons, and very approachable and knowledgeable.
We were given plenty of opportunity to practise in low risk environments and felt confident when we had the opportunity to spread our wings, pun intended.
Living in the shared accommodation had been a hoot. The other students have been great and there has been a great sense of camaraderie amongst us fledgling pilots, plus it has helped to work through all the dumb questions. Not to mention being able to share the stoke with them! Despite a difference in age and background, everyone is here for the same reason so it’s been easy to get along and love together.
The accommodation has been very well appointed and comfortable. House is warm, there is a pool which would be nice in summer, and it’s in a nice part of town. WiFi is good- only downside is no HDMI cable or chrome cast for watching paragliding movies on the TV in our own time.
Algodonales itself has been a great experience. A plethora of local bars, a good enough super market, and a real village feel.
All the equipment has been modern and safe. We saw some other schools practicing on older gear, which I am sure is fine but it’s good to be on new equipment so you know it’s not the wing that’s holding you back.
Price wise, it seems expensive but having completed the course I feel it was great value for money. Instructors that are great teachers and pilots in their own right with years and years of experience has meant that I feel safe and competent, not to mention totally hooked on flying!
Obviously, the weather is out of their control, and we copped a few days of conditions ill-suited to beginners. FlySpain made efforts to ensure this time wasn’t wasted so that we were able to capitalise on the good days and make real progress.
Overall, I am stoked with the course offered by FlySpain and would recommend it without hesitation! - via
