Content course
Program
The basic course consists of 4 lesson blocks. Different modules with different topics and exercises are discussed in each lesson block. Most modules are from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening. There will be a day on national holidays.
The dates of the blocks appear at the top if you select a start date.
We assume that with this package you will reach the level to fly solo. However, Hang Gliding is a sport that is picked up differently per person. If you still need a little more time, you can book extra tandem flights. With that you can enjoy learning to fly at your own pace without time pressure.
Tandem flights
You learn to fly by doing it. You go up the air together with the instructor and you do every flight more. You follow the towing device to 500 meters height, connect loosely and do all kinds of steering exercises on the way down. Ultimately, you also do the start and landing and if that goes well, you can solo!
Theory and ground exercises
Each lesson block consists of flies, theory and exercises on the ground. For example, we do steering exercises in the simulator and walking exercises with a solo flyer to prepare for your first solo flight.
Health and risks
To be able to follow our lessons, you must have a reasonable basic condition. After registration you will receive a form about your health and possible risks when learning to fly. You have to fill that in before the course starts.
Reserve data and DFA1/2 practice slope
There is a reserve class for every course. You can also start the follow -up course DFA2 before you can start on the practice slope. Keep that data free!
NB!
We ask for a small contribution for the use of the airport, which is met on site. This day money is € 5 per start, with a maximum of € 15 per day. For this € 15 you can also spend the night on the site.

It's a great experience !! The course brings everything as described, and more….
Learning to fly in this way immediately gives a full experience, you are high in the air from day one and you experience an ultimate feeling of freedom ... difficult to describe, you have to experience it ...!

This beginners course was exactly what I was looking for. With this teaching package of 20 tandem flights you take enormous steps in a short time to become a delta pilot. Every flight you learn until you finally start to landing everything alone! And if all goes well: you first solo! After 17 tandem flights I was allowed to go up solo for the first time. This unforgettable moment has made me addicted to Hang Gliding forever!
To learn Hang Gliding, good weather conditions with little wind are needed. This happens that there are lessons that are caught up again in another weekend. A little flexible agenda is therefore useful 🙂

I had a long time thinking about Whether or not to do it. After the Two Introduction Flights I was sold. The Rush That Comes with Being in Control of the Hang Glider Has with All My Expectations.
The Beginner's Course is comprehensive in its approach to combining theory with the practical experience. The instruction is Thorough and the Feedback Constructive.
