Midland Paragliding offer paragliding tuition across the Ballyhoura area. Training is usually conducted on gentle nursery slopes, practising take offs and 'low hops' under our expert tuition. Instructors are experienced pilots committed to maximising your enjoyment and safe progress. When you have become adept at ground handling, controlling airspeed and making gentle turns, you'll go to a higher hill for longer flights. As you gain experience you'll learn to soar - to stay up in favourable winds and make longer flights. Eventually top landing and no more climbing slopes and onward to flying for many miles across the Irish countryside........Heaven

After attaining EP Pilot rating you may fly with supervision only. Club Pilot involves more advanced flying and also getting experience in different demanding conditions, flying numerous different sites, on successful completion of these tasks and a simple written exam you will then be awarded Club Pilot pilot rating, you are now free to soar unsupervised, as free as a bird but you are advised to join a club and never fly on your own.
