Adrenalīns

• School

Adrenalīns teaches beginners at Rumbula airfield in Latvia. Training has two stages: the first combines ground handling, theory, instructional tandems and twelve solo flights. The second adds twenty solo flights and theory covering meteorology, aerodynamics and airspace use. The school also records launches and landings for discussion with students when needed.

Practical lessons use school equipment, with the instructor providing radio guidance during flights. According to the FAQ, theory is taught remotely. Main-season practical sessions usually run on weekday evenings; in the colder part of the year, the school describes weekend sessions or individually arranged daytime training. All depend on suitable weather.

In its overview, the school puts practical training at ninety percent of teaching time and theory at the remaining ten percent. It describes a final examination with both theoretical and practical elements, attended by a representative of the Latvian paragliding federation. Those considering enrolment can first try a tandem flight with an instructor.
