One Day Refresher

Shake off the Rust
Northwest Paragliding’s dedicated instructors have years of experience helping people safely progress into confident, skilled pilots.
Our one day refresher course is designed to help certified pilots regain confidence in their launching, landing and flying skills.
What to Expect?
Our one day refresher course starts with supervised ground handling to make sure pilots are confident launching before heading up the hill. Our instructors will correct any bad habits, offer suggestions and help you build solid skills for safe launching.
​
Next we head up the hill for morning flights. We typically pause flights around 1pm for midday conditions. We then resume flights once the air has gotten more smooth between 5 - 6 pm and run flights until the sun goes down or conditions dictate.


Where?
Our one day refresher course is held at Tiger Mountain in Issaquah, Washington. Tiger offers consistent thermal flying and a short turnaround time between laps, enabling students to get 4-5 flights on a typical day! It is the perfect training arena and we are often rewarded with a beautiful glass off at the end of the day.​
Make an Informed Decision
Learning to fly is a life changing decision. As pilots progress in their flying career they develop a philosophy that enables them to stay safe and progress at a pace that is right for them using the knowledge and skills passed down by their instructor.
Finding the correct instructor is a very important part of this process and we recommend everyone take the time to ask members of the paragliding community who the best instructors are; we are confident you will find your inquiries will lead you back to us.
