Improving your skills

Once you have left a school as a BHPA qualified Club Pilot, you can join our Club and fly on the Malvern Hills. Within the club membership are BHPA Coaches who are there to offer help, guidance and information concerning the development of your flying, including technique and safety issues, and where and when to start flying the Malverns.

BHPA qualified Club Coaches

Old and new members, low airtime or experienced pilots, are invited to contact any Coach below for guidance on flying-related matters. The Chief Coach for each discipline is in red.
