Aero Club dei Sibillini

• School

Aero Club dei Sibillini runs paragliding training near Sarnano in two stages: from the basics to initial high flights, then preparation for the pilot examination. Lesson numbers are adapted to each student. Its offer includes weekends, weekdays by arrangement and intensive weeks for groups of at least three. Theory covering meteorology, aerodynamics and piloting, a tandem and radio-guided flights are included; the equipment list covers school equipment through the fifth high flight.

The flying area lies in the Monti Sibillini. The local guide describes a mountain chain stretching roughly forty kilometres between Caccamo and Monte Vettore. The school identifies the grassy Piani di Montioli as its main launch, with landing fields at Gabella Nuova and Pian di Pieca. It also describes Prati di Ragnolo as a place for ground practice and wing inflation. Its site guide distinguishes terrain used for beginner high flights and further thermal development, using different launches according to conditions. The training site depends on weather and student ability.
