LMSC coaches

 

Coaching done by an LMSC coach under the BHPA coaching scheme is always free. Some coaches also offer additional commercial services, such as guiding. This page is for guidance only. When you contact a coach listed below, it is important to confirm that they are current (paid up) BHPA members and that they are registered as a coach with the BHPA.

Coaches may be contacted directly below, or there is a club Telegram group for CP pilots to interact directly with LMSC club coaches – Telegram Group: LMSC Coaching Group (for pilots looking for coaching and site advice, must be minimum BHPA CP rated). To join the group, either ask someone to add you or email club [at] longmynd.org asking to join.
