Begin to achieve the lifelong dreams you have
had of flying!
The
basics of launching and landing, speed control, and steering
will be covered via videos, discussion, whiteboard drawings,
and the use of a special paragliding simulator. In addition,
each lesson will include a specific topic. These include
Ridge Flying, Right of Way Rules, Thermal Flying, Meteorology,
Paragliding Ratings, Glider Certification and more.
There
is nothing to lose here. It is also a good opportunity to
meet me and get a feel for what I have to offer as an instructor.
In the process you will begin learning about Paragliding
and have fun doing so. Advance reservations are requires,
so make sure and save yourself a seat.
To attend you need to make
a reservation in advance. This can be a
good way to help you figure out if this is something you
want to pursue, even if it is just a little curiosity. In
the programs, I do regular ground schools throughout the
lesson program and also make them available at other times
to ongoing students if the normal time does not work out.
