Powered Paragliding Lessons

We strongly believe that in order to be a safe PPG pilot you need to be a paraglider pilot first.
Therefore, our school offers you the full novice course including your USHPA P-2 rating, and then the fine-tuning to PPG.
All lessons with the powered units will be free if you buy your own PPG from us. In case you need to use our equipment, all the training needed for you to be able to take off and land safely will be charged at $300 the day.
This kind of evolution assures you the best training in order to minimize risks to the lowest possible levels once you start flying by yourself. The main reason we believe this is the best way to do it, is very simple. When the moment comes to install an engine with a propeller to the back of your harness, the ground handling and in-flight handling of your paraglider should be as easy as riding a bicycle with no hands for you. And this requires some training. This method will save you time, stress and sometimes money. Just a broken propeller costs a lot of money and this is the most common mistake beginners with poor ground handling make when they start using the powered unit to early.
