Kuvaus

Following with our line of quality and security we use the most proven and safe system in the pilot training, we use a tandem training system. With this system the student will do the first flights together with the instructor, so he can correct directly. In the firsts flights, the student only pilot the easiest parts of the flight to end up piloting in the whole flight. In this point, the student, is enabled to fly alone with the assistance of 2 instructors by radio. The course has a duration about 4-6 days, we depend from the weather. The first thing we do in the course is to control the wing on the ground. Then we start to fly with the tandem untill the student reach the skills level to fly alone. In this point the student will do a minimum of 2 mountain flights alone, with the assistance of 2 instructors, one on the takeoff and other in the landing zone. The course is not only this, there is a theorical part on it. We will teach on meteorology, aerology, paragliding flight rules, material, etc... At the end of the course we will give you a certificate from the school and 'Federació Aèria Catalana' that tells you are done a beguinners course with a recognised school.

FAQ/MATKAINFOA
For your definition…

Paragliders are non-rigid inflatable wings that once inflated allow a person to soar on the flow of air like a bird. Using state of the art fabrics they combine the security of a parachute with modern wing design to produce an aircraft that is very easy to launch, fly and land. It is totally flexible and the entire aircraft fits in a backpack.

The paraglider is the lightest aircraft in the world. It is foot launched which means we don`t need wheels to take off or land.

For your historical background…

The Paragliders came from a design in the 60s, when engineers were attempting to create an aircraft to recuperate space capsules. Paragliding and hangliding were born from this need to have a steerable parachute. Since then, the difference between these parachutes and paragliders has grown.

In Catalunya paragliding began in the 80s. Since then paragliders have also improved immeasurably.

For your safety…

What once was a dangerous adventure sport is now strictly regulated and the material has to pass international safety levels. One of these requires that the paraglider supports 8 times the weight for which it is designed for.

Despite such security control, as in life, nothing is 100% secure, which is why each paraglider also carries an extra safety parachute. If the paraglider should deflate (for whatever reason) the safety parachute can be thrown.

YOUR SAFETY ALWAYS COMES FIRST.

For your flight…

The paraglider is the lightest aircraft in the world and also the most akin to flying like a bird. Paragliding, you can also feel the air on your face and take advantage of the air currents to travel far and away through the clouds, where only there will you truly understand the sensation of freedom.

As Leonardo da Vinci describes Free Flight: “When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”

See you at the take-off!
