Flying is a Seminar type class, given to first year students twice per year. It teaches basic broom-handling skills, and a passing grade is required to use a broom on the school grounds. It is strictly pass/fail, and those who fail the first time can retake it in a remedial form in the spring.
It's possible to fail flying for several years in a row, and opt to take the remedial courses. Students who fail the course are not required to pass, but cannot use the brooms or join a house team until they do.
