Paragliding Training

1 Day Taster Day Course

The 1 Day Taster Day Course allows those interested in becoming a paragliding pilot to understand what to learn and what the training model looks like before enrolling in the full course. Students will conduct a tandem paragliding guided flight with the instructor, and may have the opportunity to experience flying a paraglider. Students will also experience the content of initial ground parachute control training in the next course.
This course is the first step on the paragliding learning ladder. This is a way for students to understand what it is like to fly a paraglider and what training is required. Learning to paraglide is fun, but it also takes a lot of time and effort. Take this opportunity to get to know your coach and determine if he is a good fit for your needs.

description:

The course content includes basic theoretical knowledge about paragliding, you will learn how to fly, how the weather affects flying and the steps to become a solo paraglider pilot.
Students will fly with the instructor in a tandem parachute and experience the complete take-off, flight and landing procedures. Practice is generally carried out between 10 a.m to 4 p.m (flight time depends on weather conditions).
The tandem guided flight of the introductory course is not only an experience journey, but also a real flying lesson. It is suitable for students who want to experience the actual piloting of paragliders. It is also an important concept that must be understood before becoming an independent pilot. Those who participate in this course can also participate in pilot courses and purchase equipment at a discounted price.
