Pilot Level 1 course is a training and examination that takes place after you’ve flown at least 10 hours and completed a minimum of 60 flights following your basic course – although most pilots have flown much more than that.
* The price applies to training during trips abroad organized by Viking Paragliding. For other available occasions, the price is 5 000 SEK.
As a holder of a level Pilot Level 1 license on your pilot badge, you are considered an experienced pilot and have the right to independently access our flying sites across Sweden, within the scope of your current license qualifications.
Please note: completing of the course does not guarantee a license upgrade unless all course elements are approved according to the course checklist.
The theoretical part of the course is designed to ensure that you now understand the concepts in greater depth, while the practical part focuses on mastering thermal flying in calmer conditions, learning the basics of how to descend quickly in deteriorating weather, and being able to land where you originally planned to land.
The Pilot 1 course is primarily offered during our trips abroad to mountain environments, where the conditions are ideal for numerous flights in varying situations and locations.We aim to complete the theoretical part of the course before departure to prepare you in the best possible way. Naturally, we hold a briefing after each day of flying.
