Hang gliding Learn to fly
Hang gliding - When you learn to fly a hang glider you basicly have two choices. The old way....by endlessly hauling the hangglider up a hill for a series of short hops with the distant prospect of a soaring flight far in the future. Or the latest way, using tandem Hang gliding tuition, where from your first day every flight is a 20 -30 minute one on one lesson. Welcome to the future of Hang gliding training. Welcome to the UK's most progressive tandem Hang gliding aerotow school, Airways Airsports.
Tandem hang gliding aerotow training has revolutionised the way people learn to hang glide, making your chances of becoming a pilot much higher than if you chose to learn the basic skills using the old hill based methods.
It is less physically demanding and less prone to interruption by weather, which makes aerotow hangliding suitable for a huge range of student pilots. You no longer have to be especially strong and if time is of the essence tandem hang gliding aerotow training is one of the most efficient ways to learn to fly a hang glider.
Airways developed the tandem hang gliding aerotow training method of learning to fly hang gliders with the British Hang gliding and Paragliding Association in 2003, since when it has become an increasingly popular way to gain the basic skills.
From the first lesson you learn to hang glide with an experienced instructor, towed behind a microlight tug up to an altitide that gives you time to get comfortable with the controls and progress in a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere.
As this article illustrates you should avoid wasting your time learning on the hill. Take the tandem hang gliding aerotow training course and after as little as 13 tandem flights you could be flying solo.
Then, once qualified as a hang gliding aerotow pilot it is a very straightforward step to convert to fly Hill or Power.
