PG 2 Course
This is what it's all about!
The course typically takes about 10 - 15 training days, depending on how frequently you can train, how much good weather you strike and how you progress.
You will get to the stage where you can confidently fly by yourself pretty much anywhere you like. You will be soaring along the coast and thermalling at many different beautiful sites. Instructional tandems and the latest international teaching techniques let you achieve this goal in the safest and most efficient way possible.
In comprehensive theory sessions you gain knowledge of weather, aerodynamics and flight theory etc. to give you the understanding of the sport to make it safe and fun.
The cost of this course depends on how you plan to go about it. Since this is the course for those who are going to get into flying seriously, most pilots purchase their own equipment after PG1. This way, we offer special package deals, which include a glider, a harness, back protector etc and the PG2 instructions.
Such package deals cost about NZ$2,500 to $4,500 for quality 2nd hand gear, and about $5,500 to $7,500 for the latest new equipment. That probably sounds a bit vague, but we can work to different budget and - like with buying anything - there is a great choice out there. Discuss your options with us.
