For students currently in training:
Resuming flights requires at least one session on the practice slope. We are offering free PENTE ECOLE refresher sessions on the weekends of March 23–24 and 30–31, and April 5–6, 13–14, and 20–21. After these dates, all PENTE ECOLE sessions will be subject to a fee.
Feel free to check our training schedule to plan your return to flying.
The current policy on course credits remains unchanged; you can find the guidelines for transferring your credits on this page.
For tandem flights:
Flights will resume on the weekends of March 23–24 and March 30–31. Starting April 1, the school will be open every day, so you’ll be able to book flights during the week.
Please note that on the weekends of March 23–24 and March 30–31, our team will be limited, so we will only be able to accommodate small groups. (Maximum of 2 people per flight.)
