Whether you wish to fly for leisure or are taking your first steps into the world of aviation, the Sailplane Pilot Licence (SPL) Course offers a unique gateway to the purest form of flying.
This training takes place in the exceptional setting of La Cerdanya, a region renowned throughout Europe for its outstanding gliding conditions. Thanks to its unique geography and favourable weather patterns, it is considered one of the best locations to learn and develop soaring skills.
The course provides a highly rewarding learning experience, as it not only equips you with the fundamental competencies required for flight but also develops key skills such as energy management, decision-making, and an advanced understanding of meteorology. Throughout the programme, you will combine theoretical instruction with a minimum number of practical flight hours in a sailplane.
In addition, you will have the opportunity to specialise in disciplines such as cross-country soaring, mountain flying, and even competition flying, taking full advantage of the unique environment of the Pyrenees. Flying in La Cerdanya means learning to use thermals, ridge lift, and mountain waves in real high-mountain conditions.
Finally, the SPL can serve as an excellent first step towards other aviation licences. The knowledge and skills acquired through gliding provide a solid foundation that greatly facilitates progression to powered aircraft, allowing you to continue your aviation training and develop your career with a distinctive and highly valuable background.
