New Pilot Package - $800
The beginner rating with USHPA, the Hang 1 usually takes 5 Full Beach Lessons to complete. The New Pilot package includes 5 lessons, Equipment Usage, Training Manual & Textbook.
​
Students fly on average 10-15 times each lesson. To earn the H1 students must pass a written and flight test observed by one of our instructors. Every student progresses differently and we cannot guarantee a Hang 1 in 5 lessons but it is the standard.

Students may train towards the Hang 2 novice rating after completing the Hang 1.
While every student learns at their own pace, we find that on average students are capable of reaching their Hang 2 rating in about 5 Advanced Beach Lessons, 5 Mountain Tandem Flights, & 8 Mountain Solo Flights. Pricing for continuing lessons and resources is as follows:
​
Advanced Beach Lesson: $155 per day lesson
Mountain Tandem Flight: $275 per flight (includes GoPro footage)
