We are the only local school offering the following:
training hill

 We are the only local school which has a dedicated training hill. This not only allows you to simulate numerous launches in a short period of time but also allows practice in a controlled environment. Improving your launch technique here allows you to get into the air faster.

We're also able to video your launches and immediately let you review it to see what you did right or wrong. You can then work on correcting any errors or refine an existing technique.

harness barn

 As shown above we have a dedicated space which supports up to 12 harness simulators. This allows you to sit in a harness and practice "weight shifting" while an instructor observes and gives you immediate feedback.

Looking to buy a new harness? Our harness barn gives you the opportunity to sit in several different harness brands and sizes to choose the harness that is right for your body and skill level. It also gives you the opportunity to make adjustments to the harness to get that perfect fit.

dedicated classroom

Our classroom comfortably holds 30 people. It includes a harness simulator, large screen TV, giant topographical maps, 3D models of Tiger Mt, a white board and other items used to help make you a better pilot.

In the summer months we hold weekly theory classes which discuss everything from basic launching and landing techniques to thermalling and on to more advanced topics such as competition flying and acrobatics. Throughout the year we have several guest speakers by nationally recognized pilots. Topics ranges from long cross country flying, understanding weather, acrobatics and much more.
