Flugschule Ternberg

• School

Flugschule Ternberg allows beginners to spread their training across weekends in Ternberg. The taster day requires no previous experience and counts towards the basic course if students continue. Weekend operating and weather information is published in the school’s website news. Its FAQ accepts students from 14 with parental consent and notes that weather affects the overall training duration.

The basic module is described as three to four practical days and one theory day, also used during poor weather. Students progress from the lower to the upper training slope as wing handling develops, with radio-supported launch and landing practice. Equipment and a textbook are included in the introductory modules. First high flights then follow from Postkogel or Herndleck.

The final Paragleiterschein course spans two weekends of theory and practice, ending with a written examination and a test flight. It builds on high-flight experience and documented flights, with a textbook and e-learning supporting preparation. A separate cross-country course has a weekend theory component covering navigation; its practical component is a documented cross-country flight.
