Escuela de Parapente Prepyr

• School

Escuela de Parapente Prepyr begins introductory theory and practice in Villanueva de Gállego near Zaragoza. Beginner training accepts complete newcomers and is planned around roughly three months, extendable according to progress and weather. It lists hire of a wing, harness, helmet and radio. Theory covers equipment, rules, piloting and weather; practice moves from flat ground and a training slope to at least five low flights with radio guidance from take-off and landing.

The follow-up Progresión course has two levels: the first for recent graduates, the second for more experienced pilots already launching independently and ridge soaring. It develops active piloting, landing accuracy and thermalling. For this stage, the school specifies personal equipment and a valid Aragonese federation licence; listed flying areas include Monlora, Loarre, Biel, Nueno and El Grado.

The Cross course assumes completion of both progression levels. It focuses on flight planning, weather analysis, team flying and retrieval logistics. Example routes include Loarre–Riglos and Monlora–Almudévar, with the actual programme adapted to conditions.
