New Pilots Open Days are a way of getting together club flyers who are interested in improving their skills. Pilots are able to fly manoeuvres or simple schedules whilst receiving advice from experienced competition flyers in a friendly and relaxed way.
NPOD’s are meant for those who have never entered a GBR/CAA competition. It is hoped this may help bridge the gap, a stepping stone, between club flying and a GBR/CAA competition which can be seen as a daunting first step.
Most pilots enter competitions as a way of measuring improvements in skills for their own benefit and give a real purpose to their flying. Others take the opportunity to practice what they learn at the NPODs, join the GBR/CAA and compete for positions in our league tables. Competing for a place in the UK International Team could be your ultimate goal.
