paragliding training schedule

I N T R O D U C T O R Y P R O G R A M

Beginner Package: 4 - Days Lesson

The basic beginner program is a 4 -days package which leads toward high altitute flight. The first day of this course is same as the full day lesson in the introductory program. Since Day 2, you will continue to build up skills to handle canopy and establish a solid foundation for learning further techniques such as ridge and thermal soaring. Students who enrolls this course have the option to continue with full credit to the Novice Package.

Novice Package: 7- Days Lesson

This 7-days lesson package is designed for students who want to become certified pilots, which requires the KGA (Korea Gliding Association) AB rating - novice rating. Each day of training will be tailored to each student's need to maneuver canopy for solo flight. Even though this course does not guarantee all students certified for A·B rating of KGA, most will achieve this goal to apply for KGA A·B rating as their ability permitting. Once the student has received the A·B rating, they are technically qualified to fly without an instructor. This course also includes the basic safety clinics which are essential to deal with potential problems during solo flight.
