Top Gun Flight School

At iParaglide Top Gun Flight School, we take pride in having taught over 1900 paragliding students in our 26 years of operation.

We are the the longest running school based in Metro Vancouver. Due to our central location, we are the only school that flies all of the relevant kiting parks, training hills and mountains within a 3 hour radius of Vancouver.  This empowers pilots to get to know the key training and flying spots early, optimizes and accelerates learning, and allows them to grow into great future pilots.  

We have the reputation of being an industry leader with an emphasis on engineered safety systems, quality instruction, the finest equipment and a positive learning environment for fun and empowering flying.

We offer the highest level of accreditation, with Senior HPAC and Advanced USHPA paragliding instructors, who coach from first flight to expert paraglider pilots and teach and qualify new paragliding instructors.

iParaglide Reserve Clinic Sep.5; SIV & Intro to Acro Sep.11&12, 2010

In preparation for our annual Paragliding SIV (Simulation of Flight Incidents) & Intro to Acro clinic, we are making sure all participants have had their reserve repacked within one year, and more importantly, that they understand when and how to throw their paragliding reserve parachute and how to repack it.

For details of the iParaglide Reserve Clinic on Sep.5/10 click on the link below and scroll to the base of the page: http://www.iparaglide.com/p3-intermediate-paragliding/ 

If you can't spend the full day on the course, we will repack your paragliding reserve parachute for you for $75 otherwise. 

The iParaglide Paragliding SIV & Intro to Acro Clinic has been moved accordingly to Sep.11&12/10:

The entire event promises to be a Paragliding Big Escape holiday to the beautiful Pemberton Valley and the spectacular Lillooet Lake.
 
To ensure a great time, iParaglide has booked the first class Greenwood B&B.  We recommend as a minimum the group stay Friday and Saturday night so we get early starts Saturday and Sunday and maximize paragliding tows for the day. The Greenwood features west coast contemporary post and beam structure, beautiful rooms and a large deck with hot tub and barbecue area. Details are here:
Rooms are available on first come first serve basis, please book through us ASAP. Once we are full at the Greenwood, we will also have available a few rooms at the House next door.
For those who really want to get away there is also the Lillooet Lake Side Lodge at 10 km close to our SFI beach: 
 
Finally camping on our 12km Paragliding SIV beach but NO facilities. 
Please contact us ASAP as we are nearly full at the Paragliding Clinics and the Greenwood.  First come first serve.
