It is very unusual for a student to lack the confidence to continue paraglding at this point -- more often they are surprised at how quickly they are catching on and can't wait to move to the higher flights!

Paragliding Flight Safety forms the backbone of the training programme. We use the best Paragliders available in the international paragliding market. Trainee paragliding pilots are provided with logbooks, certification books & flight manual.
