Introductory Hang Gliding Lesson
Ground School, Set up and Preflight, Primary Training, First Flights
Group (each) – $149.00
This introductory course begins with a presentation of history, flight principles, and safety considerations relevant to beginning hang gliding. Students then are suspended in a simulator to become familiar with weight shift and correct posture. After assisting in setup and preflight procedures, we begin level ground training. Ground-handling instruction evolves into a gradual ascent onto the training slope. Several attempts at man’s oldest dream mark the end of this very enjoyable beginning of your personal quest for flight.

The “Combo”
Tandem Hang Gliding Aero Tow, and Full Introductory Lesson
$269
This is a great way to fill your first day with a very rewarding learning experience.
A combined high-altitude 25OO’ tandem introductory flight lesson – aero towed up over the Connecticut River valley and a foot launched, hillside Hang Gliding introductory lesson. Your instructor will go over glider basics and procedures, then once you’re aloft together, let you control the glider to experience the ease of flying a modern hang glider from altitude.
This, combined with your hillside lesson, is a very unique way to fully experience a day of hang gliding flight. At the end of the day, you’ll have a fundamental understanding of what it takes to launch, fly, and land a hang glider
The tandem portion of the flight is around 20 minutes and can be done before, during, or after the foot-launching lesson that takes place on Morningside’s grassy slopes. The foot-launch portion of the “Combo” lesson starts at 9:00 AM on the morning of your reservation date.

Tandem Hang Gliding Aero Tow Introductory Lesson
