Description
According to national legislation, paragliding requires a specific license.
The awarding of a paragliding pilot’s license is the responsibility of the Portuguese Free Flight Federation (FPVL), delegated by the National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) and the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth (IPDJ).
The UonAir paragliding school is a member of the FPVL and its instructors are duly qualified and recognized by the FPVL and have extensive experience, both as pilots and instructors.
As a student and as a pilot, you must have sports insurance. UonAir, in collaboration with the Portuguese Free Flight Federation, has a protocol with an insurance company that guarantees this requirement.
Paragliding in Portugal is divided into two levels, but only level 1 is compulsory.(IPPI Card level 3) After completing the first level, the pilot is qualified to fly The second stage (level 2 pilot, IPPI Card level 5) is classified as further training and is not compulsory. It enables the pilot to take advanced mountain flights (thermal and cross country).
UonAir – Paragliding School – provides all the necessary equipment for the Level I pilot course.
