Tandem flights are used at the beginning of Course 2 to build confidence as you develop advanced skills. You'll progress from tandem with instructor → dual control → supervised solo → independent cross-country flights. The goal is for you to complete solo XC flights by the end of the course.
You'll fly two main XC routes: a 10km navigation flight to build confidence, then a 30km cross-country mission. Routes are carefully planned over varied terrain with multiple landing options and constant radio contact with your instructor.
Yes! If you've completed Course 1 (Open Sky & Adventure Pilot) AND passed all the skills checks, you can progress directly to Course 2. You can also do both courses back-to-back with our Full Programme Bundle (£3,200 - Save £200!) to maintain learning momentum.
You'll earn the full APPI ParaTrike Pilot Level certification, recognized internationally. This qualifies you to fly ParaTrikes independently worldwide, subject to local regulations and site rules.
