Learning PG in Brasília

Post by wmelo »

Due to the weather I could not fly in Brasília: it has been raining everyday!
In order to kill time I decided to learn PG. After a couple of lessons I was able to fly from their training hill (https://youtu.be/Pz5QSmpHbfE)

Due to the rain I could not complete the training, but at least I could exchange great ideas with my PG instructor: I strongly recommend their PG school in Brasilia - great people

It looks like you are living the good life to me Walt.

Stick with the PG lessons and join us when you return and the days are too light for HG. It will double your air time.

Thank you! I am hoping to finish my training in USA. I welcome recommendations for a PG instructor.
The man made training hill in Brasilia is wonderful to learn both PG& HG. It is very well located. After classses, I simply crossed the street & I could have a few drinks with my PG instructor (Ana)

Google parque asa delta, Brasilia, DF, Brazil
You will see how well located it is

The PG/HG school is fantastic: they are doing a great job. Hopefully next year we will be able to form a group pilots from our club to fly there with their support

The HG/PG school in Brasilia is managed by two Brazilian champions:
. Ana Glécia - a Brazilian PG champion and my PG instructor - and
. Beto Schmitz - a 8x Brazilian HG champion

I do not know why, but I really felt in love for PG ...
