Progression course

Espace 3D first thermals course

Organizer: Espace 3D Parapente ↗

A course by Espace 3D for pilots coming out of the Progression course who want to learn to use thermals and extend their flights. Instructors teach how to find active air, recognise areas to avoid and climb in first thermals; goals are set before each flight and theory is backed up by exercises in the air. In suitable conditions and depending on the group's level, first short cross-country hops are possible. The flying site is chosen according to conditions around Lake Annecy, in the Bauges and in the Combe de Savoie; the course can be booked for one to five days, and the go/no-go decision is made by noon the day before.
