Parachute Clinic

Postby Megan B » Sat Dec 12, 2009 3:28 pm

Sylmar Hang Gliding Association is organizing a parachute clinic and inviting neighboring pilots.

For less than the price of a parachute repack you can learn to repack your own parachute and more!

Created by well-known harness designer and owner of High Energy Sports, Betty Pfeiffer and her husband have agreed to bring us their widely successful one-day workshop that really is more than a repack. For those of you who have taken this course you know that the knowledge and skills you gained from Betty’s clinic were worth far more than the price you paid. Some groups have charged as much as $150 for this clinic and others have brought in parachute manufacturers and other hang gliding experts to make it a profitable fund raising event. However, our goal is a bit different. We want to bring this clinic to all qualified pilots during a time when many of us are facing economic challenges that make hang gliding a little more difficult to afford. And we want to charge no more than $50 – less than the price of a parachute repack! In order to do this we need at least 20 pilots to sign up by January 1, 2010.

By the end of this clinic each pilot will know how to repack their own parachute and, in the process of learning, you will experience practice throws under various simulated emergencies. Betty will guide you through the steps and give you the skills you need for early emergency detection and the appropriate response to each situation. Please sign up today. From everything I hear this will be 50 dollars very well spent.

Clinic Details:
8am – 6pm
Saturday January 16, 2010
L.A. Valley College
No. Hollywood, Ca.
