More on USHPA P-1 & P-2 Ratings

P-1 (Beginner Pilot) identifies a student who has demonstrated the basic ability to take off, fly in a straight line, and land, but is not yet ready to go out flying independently. P-1 Pilots also understand the basics of glider set up and breakdown.

P-2 (Novice Pilot) indicates a pilot who has learned about turns, maneuvering and how to estimate where to land, as well as operation in stronger winds. He/she has had some training about meteorology, air movement, clouds and other environmental factors, as well as the legal rules that govern our flying. A P-2 can go out and fly with other more experienced pilots at easier flying sites, but needs more experience before operating entirely independently.
