USHPA ADVANCED INSTRUCTION (USHPA P3-P4)
Discovering yourself is the present day ultimate experience, and that is what we do.
After you’ve established countless hours of personal training and feel ready to advance, our Soaring and Cross Country Clinics are the perfect supplement to your personal development. We do recommend an SIV course before committing to thermal and cross country flights. Being able to extend your airtime is the goal of many pilots. In these clinics you will be learning to understand the diurnal weather trends that will allow longer flights. Lift is everywhere. Learning how to exploit natural means of lift based on what nature delivers will be the goal and outcome of the clinics. Clinic focus will be on exploiting orographic lift to extend flights and then leaving the local nest and adding distance by connecting thermal bubbles will leave you elated of what this sport potential is, being safely and securely guided with our experienced cross country and competition pilots. No more than three pilots per guide will be the rule so we can keep a close eye on each individual while in the air. This course will cover active flying in mid-day conditions, advanced paraglider control, mental game, thermal development, proximity flying, and appropriate plans to keep you as safe as possible. Course length is generally 3 to 6 days of in depth material. We will also include retrieve if we go cross country.
