Olympic Wings

• School

Olympic Wings offers its beginner course to complete newcomers and pilots with little airtime. The syllabus combines equipment, aerodynamics and meteorology with ground handling, take-offs and landings. Students use a complete beginner equipment set; the school describes high flights supervised by two instructors, at launch and landing. Published formats have minimum durations of five days for APPI 1 and ten days for APPI 2, describing the programme rather than promising qualification within that time. The offer also includes individual instructional tandem flights with in-air coaching.

The flying area spans the Pieria, Olympus and Kissavos mountains. The school lists more than fifteen launches with varied flying conditions as the setting for its courses and seminars. It can also arrange accommodation and transfers tailored to the course, with the option of booking these together. Private instruction can be requested. Personal accident insurance is listed as an option on request. Specific dates and the services included in a stay need to be arranged with the school.
