Pegasus Company (P Coy) is located at the Infantry Training Centre in Catterick, North Yorkshire and comprises of serving members of The Parachute Regiment and 16 Air Assault Brigade. 

From this location, P Coy run Pre-Parachute Selection (PPS) courses for both regular and TA personnel.  All 144 PARA recruits must first pass P Company - a series of test events that all soldiers must pass if they want to join the 'Airborne Forces'.

The tests are designed to test your physical stamina and mental aptitude (under pressure) prior to carrying out parachute training. They include both individual and team events.

A candidate who fails to display the appropriate level of self discipline and motivation throughout Test Week will fail the course.
