Advanced Training
It's a common misconception that once a pilot receives their PG2 licence that there is no need for any further instruction. The reality is that the PG2 licence means you know how to launch and land with basic soaring skills.
To truly master paragliding, especially cross country navigation, takes many of hours of raw experience and professional coaching. In fact, you actually never stop learning. Thats what makes paragliding so great!
Why try and figure it all out by yourself when you can have an expert help critique and improve your thermal skills, guide you away from the hill on your first XC's or take you on intense Cross Country tandem flights sharing all their personal secrets and tips for flying further and faster.
For licenced SAFA pilots Paratech Paragliding offer a variety of services and training from a simple refresher, intensive one on one cross country tuition, XC tandem flights and of course our famous Boot Camp and Airborne Assault courses.

One on One Coaching
We do some basic Q & A in the days beforehand to identify what your strength and weaknesses are and what it is exactly that you want improve on for a more personalized experience. It may involve basic technique tuneups, theory and some inflight radio tuition to help improve a pilots overall efficiency and awareness.
Other pilots may benefit from a tandem XC flight to help improve their confidence in turbulence and get some orientation for the local flying area. Some pilots want a radio guide on their first XC flight over the back. One thing is for certain, and that is, every pilot is not the same as the next, so why not get some coaching that is specific for your individual needs?
We are also flexible on picking our training days and if the weather is totally unsuitable we simply postpone until it is. No-one likes sitting around when it's obviously crap. We want to see you fly.
