Tallard Aerodrome

The best weather in France-330 days of flying per year!

Learn to fly microlights in a unique micro-climate. Pegasus France is a microlight training school situated in the south-east of France in the foothills of the Alps offering both fixed and flexwing courses.

Located at Gap-Tallard, there is always something going on. With a unique micro-climate the area enjoys 300 days of sunshine and 330 days of flyable weather. Because of the reliable conditions, the airfield is home to the French Parachuting Federation.

Offering flight training and courses up to UK NPPL(M) standard and with spectacular scenery to the north, rolling uplands of Provence to the south, the school has many areas to fly in. See our video page for a idea of what's instore!

We offer intensive courses for beginners, holiday courses, custom courses and mountain training to include landing at various alti-surfaces such as Alpe d´Huez and other local mountain runways. We also offer on-site accommodation. It is a brilliant family location as you don´t have the disadvantages of the crowded coastline of the Mediterranean. Instead you have lakes and mountains offering all the sports and activities one would expect in a beautiful, unspoilt setting. Local activities include walking, cycling, rock climbing, skiing, canoeing, horse-riding and many more.

Gap is situated about 90 minutes drive north of Marseille. There are many routes available for travel. Probably the most popular is arriving by air at Marseille.

UK Flying instructor courses at Pegasus France

So at last we got there! We are now able to offer UK instructor courses at Pegasus France which are approved by the Civil Aviation Authority. We are now the only school offering these courses abroad and have received a couple of bookings already. The course takes the best part of three weeks to complete and involves 15 hours minimum flight time with 40 hours of theory in the classroom. I ran these courses in Scotland for 8 years and will take my experience over to our operation at Gap Tallard. The idea of the course is that I become the student and the course trainee is the instructor. In the flexwing the trainee instructor flies from the back seat and in the fixed wing he flies in the right hand seat. This is a little odd in the beginning but you soon get used to it especially when you are landing the aircraft with this different perspective. The course is great fun and allows us to fly in challenging conditions where you wouldn't normally with an license trainee. The theory side gives a much greater depth of knowledge which is designed to prepare the trainee instructor for his theory assessment . Upon passing the final test the trainee is then free to train under the supervision of a flying instructor for his first 100 hours of tuition. One of the major aspects of the flying on the course is that we can land on the mountain strips for lunch or at an altiport to discuss the flight and how the trainee can improve his tuition skills. If you would like to put yourself in the position of becoming a flying instructor then get in touch!
