Advanced thermal and cross-country course with Scuola Parapendio Adventure
Scuola Parapendio Adventure
The Adventure school's short advanced course is for pilots with a valid licence who want to improve their piloting and start flying in thermals and cross-country. It covers launch, flight and landing technique, a series of lessons on active thermal flying, finding and using lift, and cross-country flights accompanied by instructors who explain how to use the local terrain. Radio guidance is provided throughout, and the school retrieves pilots who do not get back to the starting point. School equipment can be borrowed on request. The course has two flying days depending on the weather and runs from spring to the end of summer; the school's training base is Monte Valinis near Meduno.

Basic paragliding course with Scuola Parapendio Adventure in Meduno
Scuola Parapendio Adventure
The Adventure school's basic course leads to the Italian sport flying certificate (attestato VDS). It starts on a gentle grassy slope with laying out the wing and checking the lines, continues with an instructional tandem flight with an instructor and then the first solo high flights with about 800 m of height difference, guided by radio from one instructor at take-off and another at landing. Classroom theory covers aerodynamics, piloting, meteorology, regulations and equipment. The school says about 30 flights are needed for the certificate. Liability and personal accident insurance, a manual, the school's equipment (wing, harness, reserve, helmet, radio) and radio guidance throughout are included. Depending on attendance and weather the course takes two to six months; small groups can arrange an intensive week. The school's main training site is Monte Valinis near Meduno.
