It will include comprehensive ground school, on paragliding flight, weather, equipment, risk management, and other related topics.

SIV Clinics : $825

SIV is a French acronym for Simulated Incidents in Flight. Our calm demeanor over the radio helps you feel confident inducing wing collapses and other simulated events. After a few days with us, you’ll look forward to pushing your wing and your abilities to their limits. Most pilots would agree that attending an SIV clinic should be a mandatory part of obtaining a P-3 rating. Regardless, an SIV clinic gives pilots a new awareness of their wing and how to handle unforeseen events while flying in the real world. For a first-timer, participating in an SIV clinic will certainly increase a pilot’s confidence and skill.

Maneuvers conducted at our maneuvers clinic may include the following:
- Asymmetric Collaps
- Full Frontal Collaps
- Horse Shoe
- Spirals
- Full Stalls
- Spins
- Wingovers and Acro
