Guiding service for Paraglider pilots

You want to 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 standard guiding service includes:

  • Pick up from meeting point*
  • Daily weather briefing,
  • Flight area briefing with dos and don’ts
  • Transport to take-off area*
  • Assistance at take-off,
  • Pilot retrieval, pick up from wherever you have safely landed
  • Radio support and weather updates
  • Harness check-up/ setup. Are there maybe some adjustments to make for better flying.
  • Theoretical tips and tricks for more safety during your flight.

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.

We also offer In-Air guiding services! Click here…

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.
