Para I Rating |
This Beginner rating is achieved with 2 to 3 lessons and means that you are a student under an instructor's care until your next rating
.

Para II Rating - |
This is our Novice Pilot rating and allows you to fly under specific limitations without an instructor present. Minimum of 8 hrs of
ground school, 25 flights, and 5 flying days. This is a bare minimum and there are many more demonstration of skills and knowledge requirements. Two-can Fly Paragliding
believes that these minimum requirements do not provide the skills necessary to be a safe and competent pilot. Our instruction takes you far beyond these requirements. |
