Our Vision
The vision of the Academy is that all paraglider pilots recognise landing on a target as a fundamental demonstration of pilot skill, equal in importance to flying long distances and executing complex tasks.
The Academy aspires to train pilots who will join the UK Paragliding Accuracy Team and contribute to winning the Paragliding Accuracy World Championships.
