Rating: 'Ace' Eligibility: 'Aviator Rating with
at least 25 logged flights' |
|

An Aviator with a minimum of 25 logged flights. This level equates to
skills and techniques required to fly competently independently. During this course the pilot gains the knowledge and skills
to fly most sites in mild to moderate soaring conditions, and to judge when the site and conditions are within the pilots
skill, knowledge and experience level. We offer you more than just a paragliding course besides learning to fly in a peaceful
environment you get a chance to unwind in nature and discover your sense of peace and bliss.
Please note: We are conservative in our training programs and teaching
on winches, bunny slopes, tandem flights or High mountain sites is done only in Ideal conditions. Safety is our main concern
and we are reliant on good weather conditions for safe progression of individuals in their training. Our base area is fortunate
enough to have very good climate during most periods with light to moderate winds most of the year round, so flyable days
are many. We FLY & TEACH all the year around except the monsoons. |
