Pilot Development Structure (PDS)
It is completely up to you whether you wish to follow the BHPA’s Pilot Development Scheme – we think it’s a great idea!
It is well known that pilots make safer, more efficient progress when they are given specific tasks to undertake. Having small, bite-sized, attainable goals focuses the mind, giving structured learning & ultimately reducing flying related incidents and promoting safe flying.
How does the PDS work?
There are three layers to the PDS: Foundation, Development and Performance. Within each layer are a series of modules that deal with a specific aspect of the sport e.g. glider control, meteorology, equipment, flight planning. Each module contains a series of exercises to help you gain proficiency in the appropriate skills and acquire the appropriate knowledge, before moving to the next layer.
The BHPA website contains further information on the Pilot Development Scheme and is a wealth of information for everything hang gliding and paragliding.
