PARAGLIDING


Training is the foundation of your flying career. That is why Luftchraft-Flugschule Davos trains according to the quality guidelines of the Swiss Hang Gliding Association (SHV).
The structure of the training is divided into 2 parts. It starts with an intensive course over 5 days in which the basic knowledge is taught on the practice slope.
We call this part the basic course. The high-altitude flight training can then be completed within a year and prepares the student for the certification test.
The training is carried out with modern equipment. In the basic course, the material is provided by the flight school. During the course, the student pilot is accompanied by his instructor via radio. Depending on the level of training, the instructor's support is adapted to the student's needs.
