Hanggliding Certification
Hang 1 (Beginner
Rating)
The
"Hang 1" rating is the first step on arguably the
most exhilarating and enjoyable journey of your life. You
will be free to fly the clear blue skies. As a "Hang
1" pilot you must be able to perform the following skills:
- Set-up and "pre-flight" the
glider
- Unassisted take-off (on a training
hill)
- Safe, straight flight controlling
airspeed and making minor corrections
- Controlled stand-up landing (or wheel
landing if via aerotow)
- Pass an oral exam
- Pass a written exam
As Beginner pilot (Hang 1) you will be
expected to only fly under the direct supervision of a certified
instructor. Once you have mastered these skills, you will
be ready to progress to your "Hang 2" rating. More hang
1 information can be found at the USHGA
site.
