Pilot Paul Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi, Would anyone recommend Fly High Sky Sports in Kent for training? Anyone trained with them? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I can honestly say I have never heard of them! Odd as it may be, maybe I should have I dunno... but they are certainly not into the Paramotor scene unless it's a recent decision.

Pilot Paul Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Thanks Gerry, but there isn’t anyone else near me in Kent. I’ve since found out that Barry (the chief instructor) was previously a BHPA instructor for many years, so knows what he’s doing. When the lockdown lifts I’ll go to the training site and see them in action, have a chat then and then decide I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Paul Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 I’m guessing that’s why he’s no longer a BHPA instructor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flypapuk Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Just curious to why you think BHPA schools teach paragliding first ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I know some of them do, even a guy on here said it was one reason he didn't want to train with them. Maybe some have stopped, but I do know they have these tests for ratings and this silly Club Licence. Who's ratings? Who's licence? a load of crap. I think you are referring to the schools that are mainly PG based with a power environment add-on, however there are many of Power only schools with no association with paragliding, as for ratings, ie club pilot I don't understand your load of crap comment, it is a way of knowing where the pilot is in their ability, it is a BHPA rating not a licence, yes they can fly but would Benefit from coaching in a club environment, a bit like learning to fly a 747 when you get your license yes you can fly the thing but does that mean you can fly 500 passengers to Abu Dhabi on your first flight, I doubt it, maybe you should research things before giving bad advise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flypapuk Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Pmsl laughing, you sound like Ronnie Pickering Well why don't you enlighten us all and say who these so called schools are then we can all avoid them, Just don't tarnish every BHPA school with the same brush, Ratings are a way of progressing in the sport at the pilot's rate, hmm just like Ppl,nppl CPL, atpl that all just sounds like a way to make money to me With an attitude like yours I'm surprised you got your license, not very professional !

AndyB Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I would have thought a 747 pilot would be able to get his grammar correct. Are you really a pilot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
