Paragliding Cross-Country Course Level 2

What are the objectives of the Cross-Country Paragliding Course – Level 2?

Unlike the Level 1 Cross-Country Course, the goal here is not to learn distance flying. Instead, we will focus on improving your performance. Cross-country flying requires a wide range of knowledge and technical skills. This course aims to support you in your quest for performance through in-depth flight strategy analysis and decision-making. It is designed for pilots who already hold at least a pilot license and want to experience new sensations.

Our Air et Aventure Academy paragliding school is based in Lumbin. The cross-country course takes place at nearby sites around Saint-Hilaire du Touvet, an iconic location known to all paragliders.

Here are the objectives you will work on during your Cross-Country Course:

• Refine your meteorological analysis
• Develop a complex flight plan suited to your level
• Assess and exploit the full flying time window based on your goals
• Flight debriefing and track analysis
• FLY !!!

What is the program of the Level 2 Cross-Country Course?

The Level 2 Cross-Country Course includes:

• One day dedicated to assessing your flying and theoretical level
• Weather/aero forecasting workshop, airspace review, and complementary theory lessons
• Flight analysis and debriefing
• Lessons on flying techniques
• Depending on weather conditions, fly as far as possible

Our priority is to help you progress safely. This course is for pilots who want to improve their analysis and flight efficiency.

Prerequisites:

• Have completed a Level 1 Cross-Country Course with Air & Aventure or another school
• Be able to manage fatigue during multi-hour flights
• Fly cross-country independently
• Be able to land out safely

This course may be an opportunity to validate the performance part of your confirmed pilot license.

Note: Paragliding is an aerial sport subject to weather conditions. The content may vary depending on weather and participants' skill level.

To register for this course, you must hold at least a pilot license.

Throughout the course, we may travel to find the best flying conditions, and we will work together on all flight phases (routes, transitions, accelerated flying, etc.).

Our philosophy of the Cross-Country Course

The joy of travelling by paraglider is something magical! But we must never forget the basics and always stay humble and alert.

During a Cross-Country Course, instructors act as guides, but pilots are responsible for their own safety!

For all cross-country courses, we provide you with a tracker to facilitate retrieves and enhance safety.
