Fly Above All Paragliding

Fly Above All makes the most of your training time, averaging below the 3:1 ratio. An 8 hour lesson, with lots of individual attention will yield plentiful opportunity for repetition of skills and personal coaching. We teach all week and schedule students in smaller groups, which means you get more flights per day. Often our students get 10-15 flig... hts per day and occasionally as many as 25! You progress faster, learn more, and make better use of your time. Is the training schedule flexible? Are lesson reservations available 7 days a week? Fly Above All is available 7 days a week. We have USHPA certified instructors available to work with you any day of the week with a reservation. Fly Above All could complete your P1 (beginner rating) in 2 to 3 day lessons, however you will need your P2 to be ready to fly on your own. The average student in our program needs 6-10 days at our training hill and eight hours of ground school to receive their their Novice Certification. We also include several guided mountain flights after completing the Novice certification. We can structure the training program to fit your schedule. You can plan on coming out as little as once or twice a month, or plan on a 6-10 day course on consecutive days. This flexibility has allowed us to train pilots from Santa Barbara to LA, around the country and around the world (Massachusetts, Oregon, Florida, Texas, Alaska, Colorado, Sri Lanka, Ireland, England, France and Luxembourg).

We know P2 training is the basis for everything you learn about flying in the future and we want you to be a safe pilot throughout your flying career. Therefore we give you the time and individual attention you need to perfect the skills that make a great novice pilot. Is the training site consistently trainable?
