Training  for safety in paragliding is a crucial part of learning to paraglide, as it helps ensure that pilots are able to fly safely and avoid accidents. We at touch and go paragliding school offer a modern and friendly way to teach our students how to be safe and have fun while flying. The following are some key aspects of paragliding safety:

  1. Ground handling: Before taking to the air, pilots need to master the skills of ground handling, which involves controlling the glider on the ground. This includes launching the glider, controlling its direction and speed, and landing safely.
  2. Meteorology: Understanding weather conditions is essential for safe paragliding. Pilots need to learn how to read weather forecasts, assess wind and weather conditions, and plan flights accordingly.
  3. Flight planning: Pilots must plan their flights carefully, taking into account factors such as wind direction, terrain, and potential hazards. This involves studying maps and charts, identifying suitable landing zones, and planning safe escape routes.
  4. Emergency procedures: In case of emergencies, pilots need to be prepared to act quickly and correctly. They must learn how to perform emergency procedures such as a reserve parachute deployment, as well as how to deal with mid-air collisions, equipment failures, and other unexpected situations.
  5. Risk assessment: Paragliding safety training includes teaching pilots how to assess risks and make safe decisions. This involves identifying potential hazards, assessing the risks associated with different flight paths, and making informed decisions about whether to fly or not.
  6. Equipment maintenance: Finally, pilots need to learn how to maintain and inspect their equipment to ensure that it is in good condition and safe to use. This includes checking the glider, harness, and reserve parachute before every flight, and performing regular maintenance as needed. Ask your trusted paragliding school for more details on the maintenance.

Overall, training safety is a comprehensive program designed in our paragliding school to help pilots learn the skills and knowledge needed to fly safely and confidently. By mastering these skills and following safe practices, pilots can enjoy the exhilarating experience of paragliding while minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries.
