Thermaling course (Alpine)- APPI 3 Pilot
Our Thermalling Course is always a bit personalized and adjusted to the pilot’s opportunity areas, which are straightforwardly detected by the instructor. Some pilots might be missing one thing and some others, so we make sure the range of subjects we cover in the course, comprises the needs of everyone in the group.
The practical part of a Thermalling Course regularly starts under soft conditions, which allows the instructor to get to know each pilot’s strengths and weaknesses well, making consistent progress every day as the pilots start to fly in more demanding conditions, with a persistent focus on the particular skill you might be missing.
What makes our Thermalling Course a breakthrough in the paragliding teaching field, making it stand way above instruction programs found elsewhere, is the fact that we count on unique theory lessons that will help you easily understand complex air movement dynamics. We know it is crucial for every pilot to perfectly understand what is going on in the air to be able to fly safely. In our Thermalling Course, you will find one-of-a-kind illustrations and learning methods that you will not be able to get from any instructional book or learning source.
Course resume
The Thermalling Course is typically designed for those pilots that lacked a proper and continuous instruction program in their home schools and thus need air guidance to fly in moderate-strong thermal conditions. The main goal of the Thermalling Course is both to provide you with a solid knowledge background and to train your skills to be able to master your climbs in moderate-strong conditions.
