In El Speedo, we also do retraining for flying with higher category paragliders. Tuition is again based on compulsory training curriculum of LAA CR – the prescription PL3.
Current performance EN-C and EN-D gliders, which one can, in the Czech Republic, only fly under the Sport Pilot license or higher, however, require not only mean dealing with this relatively simple framework, but also thorough training and mastering the important rules of active piloting and escape maneuvers.
And that means intensive training in proven methodical series with secured space around the pilot and secured solution in case of mismanagement of some of the exercises. In our conception, this solution is a flight box above the water area secured by a professional crew of Austrian rescuers.
Retraining for higher category paragliders is, in El Speedo, performed within SIV courses and Safety trainings. Theoretical and practical examination by an inspector is included in these courses.
The training and examination is required to be performed on an EN-C or EN-D category glider.
