The excellent coastal and inland hills of Southern Cyprus offer everthing that is needed for completing the soaring related tasks of the CP syllabus. Our main site, a coastal soaring site has been used by the British Army for their paragliding training for many years and has proved itself to be a very reliable location.

The type of flying instruction undertaken on the Southern Cyprus trip is mainly ridge soaring but may contain some thermal coaching if appropriate.

The Flying
The main coastal site we use is a very UK-like ridge with consistent sea-breezes enabling us to complete BHPA syllabus tasks. Although there are many superb destinations around the world, such as the Alps, very few of them prepare you for the conditions we get here in the UK. After a course in South Cyprus you will return armed with many of the skills required to fly safely back home.

Who is it for?
This trip is primarily designed for post EP students wanting to gain their CP rating, or lower airtime qualified pilots who want a relaxing week flying in a supervised environment. We also accept EP students who have done at least 3 days training. We expect you to return to the UK having completed all tasks for the CP rating, except for top landings which is the only limitation with the sites in Cyprus. However, we often allow students to come to us in the UK for free to complete this last day.

When do you go?
We run 7, 10 and 14 day trips.We run a spring trip and an autumn trip. Click on the 'Trip Dates' button to see the available dates. We try to choose the dates to offer the best chance of extending the UK season. The weather is usually consistently flyable without being too extreme.

Whats included?
We provide the transport, hotel accommodation, the instruction and radios. You need to book your own flights although we usually have a couple of recommended options so that they coincide with the airport pickup.
