Full Course

The course progresses according to each student’s own evolution; however, we try to follow the following itinerary:

1. Throughout the course, we conduct both theoretical and practical classes, and we provide materials for the student to study at home.
2. The first 5 days are spent at the field school located in Curiti Santander, where we begin ground handling and practice the two main inflation techniques (forward inflation and cross inflation).Here, the first flights called “Sapitos” are carried out.
3. Once these practices are successfully completed, it is suggested to take a break of 1 or 2 days.
4. The next 4 days, we change the scenario and go to the flying site located in Floridablanca Santander (Ruitoque), where the first high-altitude flights are conducted with practices at the beginning of the morning and at the end of the afternoon. In this practice, we have an instructor at takeoff and another at landing. The idea is to gain autonomy until radio assistance from the instructor or monitor is no longer required.
5. Once the practices at this location are successfully completed, we raise the level!
6. The last day is the Graduation Flight in the Chicamocha Canyon under the supervision of the instructors

BONUS: If the student has more time, the organization provides free support for 2 additional days in the Chicamocha Canyon.
