There is a big advantage to (P1+P2) continuity as your learning curve is much steeper and you achieve more as well. If flying fascinates you then it’s a good idea to take some time off to fly more and really get a deeper sense of this beautiful nature sport. You also earn your first flying License.

7 Day Course (P1 + P2)
This 7 Day Course is the first step one can take to achieve APPI Rating to become an APPI 2 Explore Licensed Paragliding Pilot. As the name suggest it is combination of two courses Introductory P1 course and P2 Novice Course
OBJECTIVE OF THIS COURSE
- P1 Course – Initial focus is this course is an introduction, a discovery, your very first step in the sky and into the magical world of free flight. In a short time of just three-four days you will be able to surprise yourself, feeling sensations never experienced before and be able to gift yourself an experience of a lifetime – your First Solo Flight.
2. P2 Course – Second part after successfully flying your first solo flight we will learn to start taking independent decisions & reduce the dependence on Instructors. We learn to start to feel the glider & develop the finesse for flying more precisely, practice weight-shift turns, learn to make independent Approaches & Landings, learn target landings and start to build a solid foundation for going further and higher in the sport with comfort and ease.
Syllabus: This course covers all that is part of the P1-Introductory course, P2-Novice course. However since there is continuity in the training one achieves much more in a 7 Day course in terms of a number of flights, pilot competency level and confidence to fly.
