Course development:

The courses are held on weekends and during the week if there is a sufficient number of students. Students gather at the school, where their equipment is checked and transport is prepared for takeoff. The most suitable movement is made depending on the weather conditions at the time, and assisted by the instructor, we proceed to take off. In progressive flights, exercises and maneuvers will be carried out with the paraglider that allow us to control the flight under normal circumstances. The level acquired by each student will always be respected when advancing in learning.
