Parapanta Clopotiva

• School

Parapanta Clopotiva presents itself as a sports club in Clopotiva village, Hunedoara County, Romania, approximately 18 kilometres from Hațeg. Its website separates the flying school from visitor tandem flights and introduces Basti, Stefan and Arpi as its team. Prospective participants can therefore distinguish a one-off experience from learning to pilot themselves.

Training starts with a theoretical introduction, equipment familiarisation and several days of ground handling. Progress then leads to launches from a small hill and gradually greater height differences. Instructors provide radio guidance during take-off, flight and landing. The school states that its route to a pilot qualification involves at least fifteen recorded airborne hours under instructor supervision, followed by theoretical and practical examination components; this is not a promise of completion within a fixed number of days.
