COACHING

TVHGC is a BHPA coaching club and has a few Club and Senior coaches operating with the support of a Chief Coach.

The coaching extends to assisting qualified pilots who have a BHPA CP (notice) rating upwards as part of their pilot development.   Unfortunately the club does not offer training for people wishing to take up either Paragliding or Hang Gliding.  There club has a strong relationship with a local schools who can provide training.

​

All the club coaches are volunteers from the club with a BHPA Club Coach or Senior Coaching license.

​

At this time there is limited Hang Gliding practical coaching until a new coach becomes available.

​

Some of the coaching available is:

- Meteorology, air law, flight theory

- Organising Pilot and Advance Pilot exams

 

Ad-hoc practical coaching on the hill:

- Ground handling

- Soaring

- Top and Slope Landings

- Thermalling

- Cross Country hints and tips

​

Assistance with competitions such as the BCC (British Club's Challenge) and the TVHGC competition.

​

Our primary responsibility is always for safety.
