Certifications
Welcome to
Foothills Flight Park Hanggliding Certifications Pages. These pages
describe the different levels and ratings that you can obtain
through Foothills Flight Park and the USHGA.
USHGA
The United
States Hanggliding Association is the hang gliding governing
body. You can read more about the USHGA
by clicking here.
The USHGA is
responsible for all the hanggliding certifications in the USA.
These certifications include:
FFP has USHGA
certified instruction at one of the most competitive prices in
the USA. We will get you qualified to fly quickly, safely
and cheaply.
The United
States Hanggliding Association is proud to serve the great
sports of Hang Gliding and Paragliding. Through programs like
their Instructor Certification and Pilot Proficiency program, and
their award winning magazines, HANG GLIDING and PARAGLIDING, the
USHGA strives to promote pilot safety, skill, knowledge and
above all-fun. Now is the time to pursue your desire of flight.
We'll see you in the sky.
At FFP, our specialty is getting you
certified through your "hang 2" foot-launch and
aerotow ratings (more advanced certifications are also
available). Many other flight-parks offer
great foot-launch instruction however often you miss out
on getting your aerotow rating. At FFP you get
both for about the same price or less
than you would spend at other flight parks.
USUA
The United
States Ultralight Association governs ultralight use and
certifications in the USA. In fact they are the worlds
largest ultralight association. If you are interested in
learning to fly an ultralight you can contact Brad directly via e-mail
or you can write
to him care of the FFP (See contacts).
HGMA
The Hang
Gliding Manufactures Association are the people who make sure
that hanggliders are air worthy. All modern hanggliders
must obtain HGMA certification or they are not considered safe.
Naturally all hanggliders flown at FFP exceed HGMA standards.
