P2 Certification Course

---

This course is designed to initiate you into the world of free flight, nurturing the expertise, wisdom, and mindset crucial for a fulfilling lifelong journey in this realm. As an USHPA certified school we aim to exceed all the requirements for you to fulfill your novice rating leaving you certified and skilled. Our approach combines Ground School sessions, Ground Handling practice, Flying Lessons, and exposure to diverse sites, shaping you into a versatile novice paragliding pilot with a comprehensive skill set and varied experiences. 

We prioritize integrating each student into the vibrant free flight community, where friendships and mentorships guide them through our expansive and breathtaking skies. Our philosophy revolves around safety, longevity, and the pure enjoyment of the sport, fostering each student's progress and ensuring they relish paragliding for many years ahead.

We will start each student with a combination of ground handling, tandem flights, and ground school. As we build the skills and understanding around paragliding, and the instructor/student decides it is time for first flights, we will start small radio-controlled flights and build from there. We aim to complete over 20 hours of ground handling, 10 hours of ground school, and 35 radio-instructed flights before any ratings are issued. 

We advocate for an intensive two to three-week approach to maximize learning. This immersive method allows each lesson to seamlessly build upon the last. However, recognizing the need for flexibility, we are adaptable to various schedules and will collaborate to determine the most conducive learning path for you.

Given the weather-dependent nature of paragliding, the sequence of our training and flying opportunities will be determined by the daily conditions. Flexibility in our approach allows us to tailor our training accordingly.
