RE-training paraglider pilot, flying day two (day 3 of training) flight 5

Like the majority of students this Scottish pilot chose to escape BHPA 'training' switching instead to theory, practice & procedures which directly contradict 'normal' PG training and so does NOT generate the 'normal' accident, injury & death rates seen in the sport! UK PG pilots DO have a choice, they can help fund/support those that MAINTAIN 'normal' accident rates OR instead work to slash the accident rates....

How did the pilot feel afterwards ?

Hi Fergus, he LOVED IT...

As I had a photo shoot in Edinburgh yesterday afternoon for Stoneridge (tachograph) and as I was not far from his house I met up with Colin at tea time and then we were out training till 10:30!

Giving him the chance to fly a few sites more local to him launch/landing next the hill road, with a quick drive back up :-)

Good etacher is Murray, as you will know yourself he is an excellent pilot and i still swear the man could find lift in he opened out his glider in your sitting room..

As to how it feels, I'm another trainee of Murrays. I've been in concentration mode and didn't celebrate too much after flight but it felt dam good :D
