PROGRAM FOR PARAGLIDING LESSONS
- Introduction of equipment
- Aerodynamics
- Meteorology
- Wing management
- Aeronautical rules
- Emergency response
During ground handling practices, each trainee is required to learn how to make a wing prepared for flight, control a wing lifted overhead, and start running in a required manner after taking the takeoff position. At this stage, the trainer judges trainees from the standpoints of if they’re well informed or not and if they have enough skills in controlling and managing a wing. Those who are successful in theory and practice are required to take an exam. The passing score is 75 (75 percent correct).
PRACTICE PROGRAM
At this stage, trainees practice flight. Each trainee performs between 7-10 flights from the tops of hills at 60-350m above sea level. The aim of this lesson is to condition trainees to height in a step-by-step manner. The peak wind speed acceptable in this step is 20km/hour. Those who cleared all steps mentioned above and win the trainer’s acceptance, receive “THY Paragliding Certificate” and “Paragliding Pilot License”.

PARAGLIDING SIV COURSE
“SIV” (Simulation d’Incident en Vol= Simulated Incident in Flight) is a simulation for any adversity or unforeseen circumstances that pilots may encounter during their own flights. In the SIV course, an experienced SIV trainer simulates some possible situations of technical adversity or troubles which a pilot may face during his/her flight and shows the specified maneuvers to recover from each of them. Trainees also practice the same steps themselves to learn the techniques, skills, and reflex actions for recovery under the supervision of the trainer so that they can gain their own experiences. During the practices, trainees are expected to learn in real situations the maneuvers of correct entry and recovery against unforeseen circumstances such as wing collapse. And also, they can learn difficult and complicated maneuvers and improve their piloting levels. Those practices are performed mandatorily above the water and with a life jacket, walky-talky, and video recording. The safety of the practices performed above the water is still not fully ensured. For this reason, a rescue boat stands by. This course is one of the basic training indispensable for pilots to assure their progress. Undoubtedly, knowing prevention and actions for a wing’s collapse is one of the essential flight skills. With successful SIV practices, you can learn lots of things about your wing and also can experience real situations of actions such as spin, stall, and get the feel of those actions.
We are conducting the SIV training in Ölüdeniz or Alanya. For this training:
- All practices are conducted with a walky-talky.
- Trainee completes the program after 5-6 flights which simulate some possible emergent situations in flight and actions for descending.
- The trainer may make some changes to trainee’s practice flights arbitrarily according to how experienced the trainee is.
- All equipment of trainees is to be inspected and their reserve parachutes are to be repacked.
SIV actions;
- Asymmetric collapse
- Porpoising
- Front-tuck
- Stall
- Full stall
- Spiral (Spin)
- Actions for descending
- “Big-ears”
- Spiral dive
- “Wingover”
- We give lessons with 4-hour videos to trainees to make them ready for the practice. In the meantime, trainees who have never flown from Fethiye-Babadağ, perform a pre-conditioning flight with an experienced pilot.
