A fun introduction into the sport of hang gliding, never the less this course forms the back bone to learning to fly a hang glider. Designed to take you from knowing nothing to doing successful solo flights at low altitude. These ground skimming flights will give you a great grounding for mastering the basics of hang gliding. Learn to launch and land a hang glider! Learn basic ground handling techniques, aero dynamics, rigging and pre-flight procedures. Get a foundation for weather assessment and glider design!

This is the beginning level of your hang gliding career. You are still a trainee pilot and as such may only fly under supervision of a SAHPA rated instructor. Still very green behind the ears from a flying point of view, ;-) this course is a great intro taster to the sport and will only leave you hungering for more!

Novice Pilot Rating

Venue: Wilderness

Criteria: Module one

Price: R 5000

Duration: 4-5 days

This course is all about altitude gliding! After success full completion of module one you will be entitled to attend module two in your pursuit to achieving your Novice pilot rating. We will concentrate on extending your flying time which means increasing the fun! Some of the minimum criteria are at least 5 high flights. A high flight constitutes at least 1 minute in duration and at least 100 meters in altitude from top to bottom. (Remember, you will have had multiple training flights from the dunes and lower hills before you reach this stage!) You will be able to launch and land a hang glider under a variety of conditions, know and recognize flying speeds, including stalls and be able to do proper landing approaches amongst other things!

After completion of your Novice pilot license, you would have acquired sufficient knowledge to be able to look after yourself under mild flying conditions and Novice rated sites. For the most part we still recommend the presence of a senior pilot that can act as a guide, allowing you to gain more exposure and flying experience.
