The Progression course allows you to continue advancing in your training, with trips to different areas of the Pre-Pyrenees aimed at improving your technique and autonomy in flight.
We will carry out guided flights and ground control sessions, working especially on "face-to-the-wing" inflation, which is essential for adapting to different wind conditions. In addition, we adapt the learning process to your personal goals, whether you are looking to get started in thermal flying or prefer a more recreational use of paragliding.
This stage is key to consolidating your experience and continuing to grow as a pilot.
Don't stop your evolution
During the Progression Course, we provide you with the tools, resources, and practical examples you need to continue advancing in accessible and nearby flight areas. Each week, we plan activities according to the weather so that you can plan as you wish.
This course requires your commitment and perseverance, as this is essential for advancing towards greater autonomy in flight. Throughout the training, you will make around 10 flights and we will work specifically on wing control during takeoff, as well as approaches and landings, reinforcing your safety and precision.
An ideal environment for learning
Aragon offers a wide variety of flying areas, from the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees to the mountains of Teruel, as well as nearby areas in communities such as La Rioja, Navarre, and Catalonia.
The location of the Pre-Pyrenees, with a more stable and temperate climate, allows us to enjoy more days suitable for flying. Therefore, although we make trips to other regions, most of the training takes place in this area.
During the Progression Course, you will learn to understand and interpret each flying area and to make good decisions in the air, so that you can enjoy paragliding with confidence and safety.

Basic Progression Course Program
Flight continuation
The Basic Progression course is the logical continuation of the introductory course, with low and high flight practice. It includes site reconnaissance, planning, advice, and guidance at all stages of the flight, as well as practice inflating the parachute during takeoff, ensuring comprehensive practical training.

We will hold sessions to improve paragliding skills during takeoff, which will also improve our flying skills, with training tailored to the student's interests. Light winds for descents and hike and fly, and light to moderate winds for endurance flights. There will be at least two three-hour sessions.
