Notes About Training With Lejair
Training/Flying Weather Please Note: We do our very best to maximise your training and/or flying time during your course or holiday. However, hang gliding is a very weather dependent activity and you have to expect that some days will not be suitable for training and/or flying. We appreciate the vagrancies of the weather may make it difficult for you to plan alternative activities or trips, so we try to keep you advised about the conditions and their suitablility for training/flying on a day to day basis. When we consider conditions to be unsuitable we can advise you on alternative activities or places to visit, however, we are unable to accompany you on these. We list some of the available activities and trips on the relevant site pages of out main website
Extra Training Days
- Extra training days, a student may require to complete their course, are billed at €190.00 per day.
BHPA Approval All courses undertaken by students with Lejair are BHPA approved.
Equipment Policy Company policy requires that equipment used in the school be safe and airworthy. Pre CPC students who provide their own gliders and equipment for their training course(s) will be required to provide proof that their kit has been inspected and approved by a competent person or authority. Where such proof is absent students agree to pay Lejair to carry out such inspections and test flights as may be necessary to ensure the safety and airworthiness of their equipment.
Student BHPA Membership All courses leading to recognised BHPA ratings and endorsements require the student to be a Training member or Full Flying member of the BHPA. Some of our courses, such as EPC for example, include Training memership to the BHPA in the course price. If necessary you can (re-)join the BHPA through us.
- BHPA Annual rate is £77.00
- BHPA 3 Month Training Membership £44.00
Prices & Number Of Days
- Prices quoted, on our training schedule, are inclusive of sales taxes and are for training and/or flying activities only unless our schedule specifically states otherwise.
- The quoted number of flying days required to complete formal training courses, eg. EPC & CPC, represents Lejairs best estimate of the number of days needed, it is based on Lejairs experience in training hundreds of students on these courses over the last 20+ years.
However, whilst Lejair will endeavour to complete a students training course in the quoted number of days, we can not guarantee to do so. Completing a course is always dependent on the students own aptitude, enthusiasm and rate of progress. Experience shows that only a small number of students will require extra training days to complete their course.
- For more informal flying activities, such as Fly Guide and Fly Tuition holidays, the days required is quoted along with the price to enable customers to make a judgement on value for money. With such flying activities we are happy to adjust the number of flying days to meet your requirements and to adjust the price accordingly on a, roughly, pro rata basis.
