UonAir

UonAir was born with the mentality of providing support for paragliding in several regions of Portugal, specifically in the Greater Lisbon area, such as, for For example, the Setúbal peninsula, the Western region, or mountainous locations such as the Serra da Estrela, the Serra do Larouco strong> or Castelo de Vide. We are located in the municipality of Moita, a perfect place to travel to other locations.

Yes, we are a school that covers all those people interested in trying what a free flight is, without a motor. This means that they are flights that depend on the conditions of nature and in which the pilot's expertise is used both to take off and land using his own legs.

To do this, we put at your disposal a range of extremely interesting options. From those who are beginners and have never tried this type of flight, to those who want to become professional pilots, to those who want to go one step further.

For the first ones we have special flights in tandem format in which you will be accompanied in the air by a qualified instructor, who is sitting on a chair or harness and, at the same time, attached to our body. These flights can be made from various places such as the Serra de Arrábida, for those who prefer the mountains, or Sesimbra, Santa Rita or the strong>beaches of Meco, Bicas or Fonte da Thela, for those who are fixated on the coast.

For the latter we offer learning courses, in which the technique is perfected. They are made up of several stages: to the theoretical classes, arranged on a regular schedule, we should add the practical section. Thus, both are combined throughout a course of various durations. In the initial classes, the pilot will learn to control the device with his feet on the ground. Then, solo flights are made that start from a dune, and, in the last phase, end in flights of several hours soaring through the air alongside experienced pilots.

Another alternative, for those eager for strong emotions, is to continue advancing with the thermal flight courses that take advantage of the ascending columns of hot air, or acrobatic flights in which the pilot He puts all his expertise into practice performing vertigo-inducing maneuvers such as spinning or tumbling.

There is nothing to be afraid of. Our entire team of monitors accredits a degree that has beenofficially recognized by the Portuguese Flight Federation (FPVL), which means that you are in the best hands. Furthermore, all of them have accumulated thousands of flights behind them.

As if that were not enough, the activity is quite safe, no matter how you look at it. To the devices included in the paraglider itself is added the experience of the pilots. If you go on your own, you will simply have to consider certain basic concepts, most of them related to meteorology, which are mandatory.

You know, we are waiting for you with open arms, we promise to make you feel all the adrenalinepossible.
