If you have always dreamed of flying then do the elementary pilots course which takes 4 to 5 days. You can also try a Tandem or a fun day with friends, where you learn the basic controls starting at the bottom of the hill having small solo flights which are extended higher as confidence and ability grow. Tandem flights you go up with an instructor which lets you feel the thrill of flight with someone experienced at the controls.
Paragliding is weather dependent it needs to be dry and the wind less than 15 miles an hour. You work through a series of exercises which teach you how to fly but everybody learns at a different pace. The second stage is the club pilot course which teaches you to stay up and judge conditions for yourself. Equipment is provided but during training most pilots purchase their own paraglider so they can get used to flying it in a school environment. Once qualified you join your local club to fly with more experienced pilots.
We look forward to welcoming you to Flying Fever in Brodick, Scotland, United Kingdom.
