The main purpose of the intermediate course is to prepare the low experience pilots for active flying and safe discovery of new horizons in paragliding.
HOW IT GOES?The course consists of 30 solo flights and 6 theory lessons. Under radio supervision you will learn basic techniques of active flying, improve your skills and provide you with the necessary experience for further independent and safe flying. Intermediate course is also preparation for final exam to get the PILOT LICENCE.
