Question

I live in Cape Vincent, NY

Is there a way to attain P2 novice certification locally within 3 hours drive during this summer?

Thank you

Not that I know of off hand.  Morningside Flight park  would be a good place to look into.  They have camping facilities available.  If you go to USHPA’s website, you can search for individual instructors near you.  I k ow there are some instructors down state.  Chris

Hi there,

Your options are:

1. in New England: Morningside Flight Park, or New England Paragliding, for example, 5-6 hours.

2. Yamasca Quebec Canada, 4 hours

3. Greater Toronto area, 4 hours

Our guys here prefer to take a vacation and learn out west. Popular are:

- Point of the Mountain UT, 

- Santa Barbara CA.

These last two practically guarantee good training weather all year round.  

Unfortunately there is no one close to you, so you will need to make some decisions. 

Hope this helps.

One option might be...

Seems like "local" PG training is possible but challenging given our weather and training season. Takes lots of persistence!

Most of our local club PG pilots have taken a more quick and intensive option of traveling to 7-14 day training programs (e.g Santa Barbara or Point of the Mountain). The ability to train virtually every day is essential to 

Note - many great programs toute 7-8 days to P2 but in reality it is more like 10-14 days of training which can be broken up into 2 trips if that is more practical/possible.

Free flight does require time and money but is still the least expensive of aviation!

Feel free to reach out if you want to talk more.

I think the closest instructor now, is out of the New England club in Lake George.

I live in Gouverneur, have lived in the Cape, and have been flying PG's for 25 years. 315-771-9089 Glad to help

[Robert Slebodnik]

I took my P2 lessons at Point of the Mountain using the Cloud 9 school and I just got back from some additional lessons there. There are 4-5 schools there.  I am familiar with the area since my daughter lives there, so feel free to contact me if you'd like to talk.
