   Depending on weather factors and physical condition of the student, this course is completed in about one week and includes an average of 25 flights to reach the PPG 2 rating from USPPA

 

We need to know your age, height and weight, as well as your general physical condition.  Foot launch is physically more demanding.  PPG Training on wheels is an easier and faster option.
