pente-école

CONT: Les moniteurs devraient faire employer le casque et la protection dorsale même aux premiers essais sur la pente école, et le parachute dès le premier vol.
OBS: C'est grâce à cette pente que les pieds de l'élève peuvent se décoller du sol.

CONT: The lessons include classroom discussion and videos on the mechanics, equipment and techniques of paragliding. You then move to the training hills to practice inflating and controlling your wing on the ground, learning launching, landing, and steering skills before introducing the element of flight.
CONT: The instructor will bring you to the school hill where you will practice the paraglider inflation, make your first take-off and landings. ... Eight lessons on the school hill are usually enough to end your training on the ground.
CONT: You get suitable equipment and a short instruction on the exercise slope with a flight instructor.
