Paraglider Certifications
Introductory Lesson (2-3 hours)
This lesson will give you the opportunity to ask questions and help you decide if paragliding is for you. Learning to leave the ground under a paraglider takes time & commitment, we hope you’ll let us guide you on this exciting journey!
Your intro will include a very brief lesson on weather, aerodynamics & ground handling. We will discuss how long training can take & other topics. Then, hands-on intro to paragliding. You will don the gear, learn to connect the wing, practice forward inflations (staying on the ground), pack the wing & more.
P1 Beginner Certification
The P1 certification program is a short course. You will not be ready to fly independently. You’ll be able to launch off a low hill in ideal weather, fly a straight, short distance & land. This course is your first step to becoming a Paraglider pilot & is part of the P2 training.
P2 Novice Certification
During P2 training you’ll learn to solo fly a paraglider & begin the journey of exploring the skies!
You will become confident handling a paraglider in the air and on the ground. Mandatory ground school is included where you’ll learn meteorology, risk assessment, and more.
We will teach you at your pace, our goal is to make you a safe, confident, well-trained pilot.
You’ll receive a task book, a list of the skills you’ll need to learn & then have signed off as your training progresses.
Schedule – Most lessons will be early mornings to take advantage of the gentle air. Paragliding is a weather dependent sport, and because safety is our first priority some lessons may be postponed due to weather conditions.
