We realise that not everyone wants to pay for a full course in the amazing sport of free flight without first testing the air! We have therefore brought out a superb value introductory session,
the cost of which can be redeemed against the elementary pilot certificate
course. The session involves a morning or an afternoon of intensive tuition. We will provide you with one of our purpose made training paragliders, a harness, a helmet and, if required, suitable footwear. You will be shown how to inspect a glider for safety and suitability. A paragliding harness will be demonstrated and you will learn how to put yours on and off. We explain the various pitfalls that exist in the flying world and how to try and avoid them! Stalls and spins and similar! One of our instructors will demonstrate to you how to launch a paraglider, and explain how it all works. Then it will be time for you to have a go! We aim to get you conversant with a least one launch technique, able to steer and capable of stopping! If at all safely possible we will aim to get you flying your first hop, a few feet up! A first tantalizing glimpse of what you could achieve in the future. All that you learn counts towards future qualifications. You will receive a certificate itemizing your achievements.
