Itäliitäjät Team

• School

Itäliitäjät Team describes PP1–PP2 free-flight training combining theory, ground handling and radio-guided towed flights. The programme lists 25 hours of theory, at least 45 student flights, loan flying equipment and learning materials. Its published formats are weekends and evenings over 2–6 months or a ten-day intensive course; progress depends on weather and student attendance. Theory covers wing construction, meteorology, aviation rules and aerodynamics.

The course overview distinguishes five low flights and forty high flights spread across at least seven flying days. Completion includes a theory examination and check flight, followed by a training certificate for a PP2 application. The website says instructors remain available to support new pilots after the basic course.

For further development, the school describes guided European hill-flying trips for new PP2 pilots in cooperation with other clubs, plus opportunities for thermal-flying instruction. Paramotor and powered-trike training are offered as separate follow-on courses.
