I'm going to saySt Auban again. English speakers in the office, quite a few

instructors who speak reasonable English, Briefings in English every day.

What more could you want?



Am biased?- Yes I think it's a great place although admittedly not the

cheapest.

I wonder what the chances are of being able to solo? For example, I visit for 2 weeks, get an equivalent French pilots license in advance. (if that's how it works and IF it works) Also, I'm a relatively low time glider pilot having flown gliders for 3 seasons and 135 hours. But all in high performance inc some flapped ships. (ASW27) Some mountain/wave, some ridge in Minden and Williams. Also 600 power hours instrument multi. (like that will help)

I noticed you need 250 hours to rent a Duo at Soar Omarama. ... Aaron
