The Kids Training Program has TWO objectives: to teach the necessary skills for ground handling a paraglider safely and to make it as fun as possible.

Objectives:

• To teach young future flyers the skills necessary for ground handling a paraglider and to make it as fun as possible.

• To develop the future generation of young pilots in Hong Kong

Description:

• The Kids’ program primarily teaches kids aged 8-16 how to control a paraglider on the ground as a way to learn the skills needed for solo flying when they reach the minimum age.

• In Hong Kong, the minimum age to act as a pilot in command of a glider is 16.

• This course does not provide instructions or send kids flying, as the minimum age has not yet been reached.

• Parents’/Guardian participation is required; at least one parent must accompany the student during lessons as an observer. The role of the parent/guardian is to act as an observer, our instructors will provide specific instructions on what conditions are safe to practice that must be followed strictly to ensure safety.

Students Will Learn:

• How to inflate and control a small kids sized paraglider

• Basic theoretical knowledge of aerodynamics of aerofoils and how lift is created

• Personal limitations for ground handling safely
