Initiation courses

Learn to fly!

The objective of the initiation course is to bring the future pilot to his first solo flight, under radio guidance.

The training takes place in several stages, so that you can progress in complete safety:

• First, you learn about the equipment and how to prepare it for the takeoff.
• Once you’ve mastered these basics, the next stage of the course takes you through take-off and landing on a gently sloping field. This stage consists of doing mini-flights lasting just a few seconds, with little height.
• A theory course is also given during the first few days of training. This completes the groundwork laid during the practical days. This theoretical basis will be very useful not only for your first solo flight, but also for your further training flights for your pilot’s license.
• At the same time, we also organize an instructional tandem flight with an instructor. During this flight, you’ll learn how to fly a paraglider and perform the tricks required for your future training. This instructional flight will give you the knowledge and confidence you need for your first flight.

Once you’ve completed these steps, we’ll plan your first solo flight under radio guidance. You are supervised by 2 instructors:

• The first is located at take-off to help you prepare your equipment and achieve your first takeoff.
• The second waits for you at the landing to guide you through the sky.
• A flight you won’t soon forget!

All flying equipment is included in the course: paraglider, harness and reserve parachute. So you don’t need your own equipment to take part in the course.

The course usually lasts 3 days. The first two days are spent learning the basics, while the third day is devoted to the first solo flight(s).
