The Sport Flyer Course is perfect for:
- People who’ve flown before and want to start training seriously
- Indoor skydiving fans who want to learn to fly independently

Skill-based sport flying
What will you learn in this course?
During the course, you’ll learn how to:
- Maintain a stable flying position
- Fly independently
- Turn left and right
- Fly up and down
- Move sideways
- Move forward and backward
- Enter and exit the tunnel on your own
