Power Hang Glider Training

Powered Hang Gliding (PHG) is a form of recreational aviation or adventure sports that combines a hang glider wing with a small, lightweight engine. PHG flying is based on weight-shift control, where the pilot shifts their body weight to guide the aircraft. It offers a unique and relaxed way to experience aviation. The engine provides the power needed for take-off and sustained flight, unlike conventional aircraft, PHG offers an open cockpit and a close connection to the surrounding air and landscape.

With its open-air design and simple flight controls, PHG provides a direct connection with the surrounding environment. Pilots can enjoy scenic flights while learning about wind, weather, aircraft handling, and the fundamentals of powered flight.
