Airsport

• School

Airsport offers two entry routes: individual training days on Belgian slopes and a continuous six-day beginner trip. For slope lessons it chooses Boom, Han-sur-Lesse or Sippenaeken according to the wind, confirms the site the previous evening and arranges carpooling. It normally suggests three slope days before moving to a high-flight trip. Equipment is included in training.

The intensive trip also accepts complete beginners without a prior slope course. It covers ground preparation, theory, video feedback and initial high flights with radio guidance from instructors at take-off and landing. An instructional tandem depends on the weather. The school supplies wing, harness, reserve, helmet and radio, plus transport between take-off and landing, excluding cable cars.

The FAQ allows training to be spread across several years. Theory covers meteorology, aerodynamics and flying rules; club programmes, thermalling and SIV trips support further progression. The school asks participants to be at least 14, with written parental or guardian consent for minors.
