The introductory Speedflying course is designed to provide safe and effective learning, guided by the expertise of a school specializing in this sport. Instruction is progressive and adapted to the abilities of the group or individual, starting from scratch and advancing according to personal progress.

Requirement: to have flown in some other modality previously, paragliding, paragliding, speedfly or others.

Participants will learn to familiarize themselves with the appropriate equipment, developing skills for independently preparing for takeoffs and landings. Understanding the landing zone and the techniques necessary for safe flight are essential.

Because smaller gliders allow for higher speeds, safety is paramount. These conditions restrict safety margins, so perfecting takeoff and landing techniques in practice areas is essential before embarking on actual flights. This serious approach ensures a rewarding and safe speedflying experience.

The Speedfly course starts on the school slope.

Regardless of your previous flying experience or background, we need to familiarize ourselves with our speed equipment, its braking range, and practice before moving on to actual flying.

Goals

For this introductory level, the objectives are.

Adapt the gestures of take-offs, flights and landings to the mini-glider.

To know the finesse and braking level of our sail.

Understanding the use of the trimmer and the draft change it produces.

Importance of speed in this type of sail.

Understanding how wind and thermal conditions affect a speedfly flight.

As an indirect and complementary aid to the theoretical classes, we try to record most of your course, mainly in case we need to correct any gestures; it's better to see yourself from the outside.
