Your journey to becoming a pilot

P2 Trainee Pilot

P2 is the first step into paragliding: learning the equipment, ground handling, launches and glide flights from registered training hills. Under the THSF Training Guide 2026/1 the course lasts at least 1 week and ends with a written exam (75% pass mark) and a review of launch and landing videos. You receive a “Course Completion Certificate”; at this level you fly only under a coach's supervision, and P3 is required for independent flying. Message us on WhatsApp for regions and course dates.

P3 Beginner Pilot

P3 is the step to independent flying: forward and reverse launches, ridge soaring and thermal flying, and basic emergency (SIV) manoeuvres. Under the THSF Training Guide 2026/1 you need at least 50 flights and 12 hours in the air (at least 6 hours of ridge soaring and 1 hour of thermalling) and a written exam with a 75% pass mark. Because only 7 flights a day count, the course takes at least 8 flying days; the real length depends on weather and group size. Graduates receive the “YP Beginner Pilot” level card.

P4 Intermediate Pilot

P4 covers long thermal flights and advanced emergency handling. Under the THSF Training Guide 2026/1 you need at least 20 flights and 10 hours in the air, two thermal climbs of 700 m (or one of 1,000 m), two one-hour flights (or one of two hours) and advanced SIV manoeuvres (deep spiral, autorotation, full stall, spin). The course lasts at least 10 and at most 45 days. Graduates receive the “YP Intermediate Pilot” level card.

P5 Experienced Pilot

P5 is cross-country flying: safe XC flights in different regions using weather data (METAR, TAF, Skew-T) and GPS. Under the THSF Training Guide 2026/1 you need at least 10 hours of thermal flying at two or more sites, including a 30 km FAI triangle at one of them; airspace, NOTAM and ICAO charts are covered in theory. The course lasts at least 10 and at most 45 days. Graduates receive the “YP Experienced Pilot” level card and can take part in competitions, coaching and tandem pilot training.
