Happy Emotions

• School

Happy Emotions in Granada divides training into three modules. The Toma de contacto introduction focuses on equipment, combining theory, ground handling and an instructional tandem in which the student tries piloting with an instructor. The school lists a wing, harness, helmet and radio on loan, plus video feedback on practical work.

The second, beginner module is published as approximately five days. It includes around ten short hops, three instructional tandems with a flight plan agreed beforehand, and three radio-guided high flights. Theory covers airflow, aerodynamics, equipment and rules; video analysis is also included.

The third module follows completed beginner training and aims for greater independence at take-off and landing. It describes approximately five days and six high flights with radio support at launch and landing, alongside theory and ground-based reserve practice in a suspended harness. A separate programme for people with disabilities is described as training under development using a motor and cart or trike; it should be distinguished from these free-flight paragliding modules.
