Learn Hang Gliding

Learning to fly a hang glider can be great fun and isn‘t as difficult as you might think. Instruction for beginners is available from in a oure club. These offer a wide range of courses that combine practical instruction, with an explanation of air law, meteorology and the principals of flight. During training a strong emphasis is always placed on safety, and students are encouraged to progress at their own individual rate. Hang gliding tuition in the Macedonia is usually either hill based and scooter towing lessons. 

If you opt for a hill based course, initial training takes place on gentle slopes, with three tether ropes attached to the glider. These are later slackened, and then finally removed when your instructor is certain that you are ready to progress to true solo flight.If you‘re still not sure if the sport is for you, most hill schools offer a one day taster course that usually includes a series of low level tethered flights during the course of the day.

Given the right conditions another four days could see you well on your way to completing your CP (Club Pilot) course. This is the absolute minimum level of skill required before students are able to leave the school and start to fly within a local club environment.

Club coaches now take over from school instructors, and are able to guide you through the tricky transitional period, and oversee your long term development as a pilot.

In the right conditions, learning to fly a hang glider is actually fairly straightforward. Unfortunately the weather is often less than ideal, and the ensuing delays can be a test of patience and determination. But it really is worth it in the end!
