Instruction

We provide lessons for all levels of pilots including specialized continuing education courses. All instructors at Fly Sun Valley are certified by the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (USHPA). We use a variety of training sites for beginners, and tailor lesson schedules to meet the needs of each student. Upon successful completion of your lessons you will receive an appropriate pilots rating.

As simple as riding a bicycle, paragliding is the easiest and purest form of flight. And just as with most active sports, understanding some basic guidelines and knowing your limitations will help keep it accident free. All forms of aviation and active sports, including paragliding, have inherent risks. Paragliding however, has some unique responsibilities; seeking expert instruction, using modern tested equipment and exercising good judgment with the proper attitude, will minimize risks. The courses we offer are designed to teach pilots to fly safely with skill, confidence and superior judgment.
