Paragliding Licence Courses
The 9 Day Licence Course is a very intensive training course designed to coach you to licence standard.
What to Expect:
The first morning we get used to the equipment and practice controlling the paraglider close to the ground. Expect bunny hops from a gentle slope. In the afternoon we go to a suitable site for the first major flights.
Successive days consist of multiple high flights from launch sites suitable to the weather of the day. Expect around 30 flights, focusing initially on take off and landing skills. Once these skills are acquired we move on to ridge soaring and thermalling skills, allowing you to extend your flight times, course participants typically reach heights of around 2500 feet during these flights.
Theory:
Combined with the flying is an element of theory. We take great effort to conduct the theory in a natural environment, discussing it as it occurs on the hill or in the landing paddock but there is also a necessary element of classroom theory. The classroom theory is delivered via a powerpoint presentation and explained clearly by our instructors.
Equipment:
If you know you are going to continue with the sport talk to us about our discount gear purchase packages available to our students only.
Included in the course cost is a copy of "Paragliding Learn To Fly". This DVD will enable you to grasp most of the concepts prior to doing the course and accelerate the learning process.
On all of our courses we have 2 instructors and a driver, this ensures that you are not wasting time standing around in the landing area and get the maximum amount of flights
We also video the course and you get a DVD to take away with you.
