Powered
parachuting in Europe is in its infancy, however
in the USA this industry has grown rapidly and
is now a major part of the aviation industry.
We have spent 4
years approving the Blue Heron design, as a
European registered aircraft with proven design,
testing and manufacturing systems.
Please note that Powered Parachuting is
temporarily unavailable at Skydive Spain at the
moment. |

A weeks course starts off with
the customer flying as a
passenger and the pilot in command while
teaching basic flying principles with the
parachute above your head.
This will be followed by you as pilot in command
while the instructor takes a back seat. But don't worry,
the instructor can take control at a moments
notice and is there to support you in your
flight.
Please note
that powered parachuting is different to
skydiving. You start from the ground and do not
freefall. |
|
Once you have
become proficient as pilot in command it will be
time for your first solo flight.
After completing at least 4 hours solo flight
and 25 landings, and you have shown good flying
skills we will put you through a general flying
test, which qualifies you as a solo pilot
without further supervision. From here on, you
are in charge of the parachute. |
