This is a great opportunity for novice and intermediate pilots to
improve their hang gliding skills. It is also an opportunity to enhance
cross-country and competition performance under guidance from some of
Australia's most skilled and experienced pilots. The Canungra Hang
Gliding Classic competition follows directly after the training camp,
so for those who enter, there will be two de-briefings throughout the
competition week to monitor progress of pilots who attended the training
camp.

Pilots are required to supply all hang gliding equipment. Pilots are
encouraged to use GoPros (or any other video cameras) during the
training camp so all pilots can watch in the evenings as well as helping
instructors to give feedback.

Accommodation:

• Camping at Canungra Showgrounds - 07 5543 5904


• Canungra Motel - 07 5543 5155


• Canungra Hotel - 07 5543 5233

Goals for the Training Camp:

• Procedures for setting up gliders and equipment


• Launch and landing techniques


• Safe flying practices


• Improving thermal techniques


• Cross country flying with goals dependent on pilot ability


• Local knowledge on the flying sights and terrain


• Set goals for future flying

All the instructors are providing their instruction at no cost. All the
organization is volunteered.
