Do you want to fly Coastal, Mts, Thermal and cross country? Fortunately a lot of this is a progression and you can shift your priorities with each rating level. You will want to chose a School or Instructor that best meets your learning and personality style along with one that you will get the most out of to meet your overall aspirations in the sport. Every instructor has their own slightly different experiences, knowledge, instruction style and methods. Also talk with experienced pilots in your area asking for their opinions. Think of this as an interview hiring process. You can check whether an Instructor or School holds a USHPA Instructor Appointment by consulting the USHPA website at Ģnd: Then call and talk with as many Instructors and Schools as you can. But finding the right Instructor or School can be like reading or entering into the the pages of an old spaghetti western when trying to decipher what is hype and what is legitimate when the topics may be new to you.ġst: The SDHGPA encourages people interested in learning to fly Hang Gliders, Paragliders, Mini / Speed Wings, or Power Paragliders (PPG) to start by seeking out trained Instructors and Schools holding valid USHPA Instructor Appointments.
