Take the Lead

Cross-Country Paragliding and Skill Development Course

You know how to fly. You know how to ride a thermal. But when it comes time to set out on a cross-country flight, doubts creep in: “What if I miss my transition?” “What if I hit a low point?”... This mental clutter can make you give up, cause you to wait too long in one spot, or even prevent you from venturing beyond your usual flying area. “Take the Lead” is a course designed to help you break through mental barriers, make the most of your personal resources, and develop a strategy for improvement.

The goal is to teach you how to independently make the decisions and execute the piloting maneuvers that will allow you to build your cross-country flights.

Objectif

A structured approach before, during, and after the flight

1- Prepare

Each day begins with a thorough briefing. We analyze the terrain, conditions, possible options, and strategic and tactical choices. You’ll know where we’re going and why we’re going there.

2- Flying

I fly alongside you—you’re not alone. If you’re unsure, I’m there to answer your questions so you understand the situation. We’ll learn to relax whenever possible and refocus before and during challenging sections. This helps you build your endurance and fly safely.

3- Taking the Lead

Along the route, you’ll need to take the lead, become the leader, and make decisions. I’ll let you stay in this role as long as it’s effective so that you can build confidence. If your choice seems risky to me, I won’t let you get stuck—I’ll step in to support you so you can find a way out.

4- Becoming Independent

The goal isn’t for you to have a great flight by following your instructor, but to complete a flight that satisfies you because you were the one in charge. You’ll realize that you’re capable of repeating on your own what we’ve built together: preparing, deciding, managing, and starting over.

Philosophy

Your goal isn’t necessarily to fly farther, but to understand how you’ll fly farther!

A great flight shouldn’t just be a matter of luck—it should become an experience that you can understand, analyze, and replicate.

The “Take the Lead” course is designed to help you maximize your potential for distance and enjoyment in flight.

2 to 4 days, private or in a small group for greater flexibility and a fun atmosphere.

Want to take your paragliding to the next level? Let’s discuss your goals and tailor the course to you.

Organisation

Do you already fly short cross-country flights but feel like you’re not making progress?

Do you leave the thermal but your performance remains inconsistent? We’ll work to identify your roadblocks and overcome them so you can reach your full potential.

 

3 Formats

 

° 2 days – Overcoming Obstacles: Focus on a specific challenge (transition, route planning, fear of dynamic conditions, etc. ) The tool for improvement may be flying or something else (relaxation, visualization...)

° 4 days - Consolidate: A more comprehensive immersion to work on progress and performance in various situations.
