In-Air Guiding service for Paraglider pilots

Let’s fly together and discover new territories.
We will guide you in the right directions!

During one week we will pick the 5 best days for flying and we will show you Carinthia’s best flying spots around the Drau-Valley and all the way up to eastern-Tyrol.
The Emberger Alm/ Greifenburg area is well known for its good thermal flying where it’s “easy” to fly long distances if you like to.

The In Air guiding service includes:

  • One instructor is also flying and concentrates on the in-Air guiding of all the pilots who want to have some support in the Air. The instructor will show you the right spots. Just follow…
  • Improvement of the theoretical and practical Piloting skills (if desired)
  • Harness check-up/ setup. Are there maybe some adjustments to make for better flying. There probably are.
  • Theoretical tips and tricks for more safety during your flight.
  • Radio support during flight.
  • Individual flight support from flight instructors
  • Daily weather briefing,
  • Flight area briefing with dos and don’ts
  • Transport to take-off area*
  • Support at take-off if desired,
  • Retrieval pick up from “where ever” you landed

If you look at the skyways of this area you understand the possibilities we have.

All pilots will fly with radiocommunication so the guides can give you tips in air. We attach great importance to ensuring that everyone is supported at their level and can develop further. If you like we’ll give you tips to help you improve your skills so you can fly with better feeling and cover greater distances.

Especially in new and unknown terrain, the feeling of “I’m on my own” often creates additional stress that can cause you to go for landing sooner. Since we try to fly our plan with the group, your guide can give you instructions while flying. This means that many people do not feel left alone when flying. It may well give you more self-confidence so that you dare to fly further into unknown territory.

Paragliding Austria – Flight school Time Flies

Kichbach 125

We will meet up at our school in Kirchbach to get to know each other and discuss our plans and your goals for the next days.
We will also check your settings of your harness and setup and do a pre flight check.
Depending on the weather conditions we go up for a flight or a dive into our pool, or probably both. So don’t forget your swimsuit  😉  

Depending on the weather forecast we make the plan to fly in the Drau- and Gail-valley in Carinthia and use the possibility to go further in the direction of Eastern Tyrol.
