Simple Progression for Teaching Hang Gliding
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 02. 2015
- This is a 5-min video FOR INSTRUCTORS that breaks an intro lesson into it's most basic parts, and stresses that teaching needs to be a progression of smaller steps, guided in accordance with the fundamentals of instruction.
We can not teach someone to launch if they struggle with picking up the glider, and we can't put them in the air until we've taught them how to land first.
The end goal is creating that 'Eureka' moment and hooking the student on hang gliding... and we do this by ensuring their first flights are a hugely positive and fun experience.
Regarding the technical content of this lesson, I understand different schools might follow a slightly different progression depending on the syllabus or training facilities available to them (such as teaching wheel landings to start out). This video is an example of A PROGRESSION, not "THE" progression (this is what has worked best for the Voights). The key is the WAY it's taught- progression, clear & simple cues, and with an emphasis on the things that bring people back. We as a whole can't afford to lose any potential pilots!
At face value this video provides new instructors with an excellent 'canned' intro lesson. Going deeper for more experienced instructors, the video stresses and demonstrates a lot of the complexities of instruction, be it an intro hang gliding lesson or anything else- taking something complex and delivering it in simple and straightforward, piece by piece steps.

am i the only one that noticed the little bird flying with you and stopped when you stopped around the 4 minute mark? thats adorable
Scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else had noticed too
Got to love CZcams, I came from a vid about a cat bringing a duck through a doggy door to this...
😂😂😂😂🤣
Is the duck ok?
This is without doubt the best way of teaching a student in my opinion and reminds me of the ground handling work I did when learning to paraglide.
Making gliders
Nicely shot, good script, good drone usage. Nice primer for new instructors. Yes, please do another. Thanks!
Vejo que dedicação e persistência é seu dom maior, parabéns.
I taught two people to hang glide in the late 1980s. I sure wish I had this kind of instructional training at that time. It would have benefited my students greatly.
And certainly a tandem flight or so to introduce flying at many hundreds of feet AGL is of great benefit.
There was this kind of training then here in the flat land of platform towing . Finding a practice hill was always difficult for ground handling .. Transitioning to tandem tow launch was then easy as was landing . Finally learning to thermal and finding lift and LZ . Thanks for reminding to have FUN
Ellenville, good remembrances with Tony Covelli around 2003. Now, I am returning to recycle and fly again. Nice to see the new generation following the parents footsteps. Thanks, very well done instructions for the new flyers.
Nice! Can't wait for the next installment.

I'm so glad to see you teaching on flat ground. My lesson (at Green Dragons) here in London outskirts was sprinting directly down a fairly steep hill, with the hang glider. And yes, by the way, I crashed. The instructor kept saying, stick out your chest, stick out your chest, while I'm shitting myself because I've never done this before, and I'm sprinting with this heavy thing down hill, top speed.
I accidentally pulled the hanglider towards me, rather than away, and I ploughed straight into the ground. I fucked up his expensive harness, almost broke my collar bone, and 2 years later, I'm still suffering a pain down the back of my thigh, because I tried to rescue his glider from slamming into the ground. I totally tore my ligaments and muscles in my right leg.
Now I'm a bit intimidated in ever trying this again.
LOL
Ouch! That was a terrible Learning experience to be sure. There are probably other schools with a better progression, as you saw in this video. Another alternative is to go to a flight park where you can fly tandem within an instructor. That way you got a feel for flying and how the glider behaves without having to take on the difficult task of launching. Good luck!
There are good instructors out there. It's best to find a reputable school that has been around for quite a while. Single-instructor 'schools' should be suspect unless they have a very good national reputation. There are only a handful of very good schools in the USA that could be recommended. Have no idea about schools in the UK or EU.
Nice job, Ryan... well done!!!
Very handy the use of the remote-controlled chopper.

Perfect. Dispensing with these basic principles is always a concession to short-term interests at the expense of all else.
Good Vid Ryan, thanks for your inputs thus far

Hi. Great video. I was just wondering what harnesses you were using on those videos. They look really well padded and comfortable for the standing/supine position. Is it the Charly Knee hangers (Finsterwalder) or some other type? I am really interested in purchasing one. Cheers and happy landings!
yes, i want to do the school of
hang glider!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
3:50 small bird is flying side by the runner.
Excellent presentation
Superb!!
Nice, very nice.
Brilliant
I like your video very much.
I must do this.
the man beneath the wings obstracting the flow
Great video! What kind of wonderful bird hangs out with you?
didn't know there was 4.2 million instructors out there!
No one is more surprised by how many views this has than me! But I think hang gliding is an interesting subject to a lot of people, and the fundamentals of how to teach something are applicable to anything and everything…
Ryan, I like the steps in training...was going to start trying and learn...where is this training taking place and contact info for training?? I know whether it is gymnastics...or dog training...the above steps are the best way. Thanks for your response
Mabur orak modar iyo...
Hope you can fly someday...
I'm very good in kites and my dream to fly with it...can u teach me hang gliding
good video...
Nice
I am 81, took up HG at age 45, had an extremely poor teacher,. I flew HG for 15 yrs. and then switched to PG and at age 80 quit PG . Just like building a house the foundation is a key element to a proper project. In spite of not the best of instructors I only broke one arm while HG and that was from landing in a field with no wind sock and no other indicators of wind direction and a thermal kicking off on the last 20 ft of height burnoff.
Nice video
Aula do morrinho aqui no Brasil.
so, do you guys have a pet bird? That bird is in every shot!
He just showed up one day... and stuck around for a few weeks (until the weather turned cold). He would get really close, and eat the bugs that we stirred up while walking in the grass. We named him Jerry. :-)
Ryan Voight amazing, i bet Jerry comes back!
What is cost and where is shop and how buy it
exciting sport.
I like it so much
Location ? Cost to train ?
Awesome
This is superb. Where is the location of the class? Do you also teach how to make one? It would be wonderful to hear from you.
You is an indan i no
I am wondering if could take training from you guys
suuuupppper video :)
Sir what is the length width of this wing please tell
I prefer the "take them to a cliff and just let Darwin do his job" kind of approach. Popcorn recommended.

How much is the mid-range hang glider? Can I teach myself to fly over the internet? Looking forward to hearing from you.
I miss Tony we"ll be back for sure
Hello, Ryan. Will you integrate Russian subtitles if I make them for this video?
Whow... I can´t believe what I´m seeing. Please correct me... Minute 3:49 to 4:00... is there a small bird teaching this student how to do it right? seems to start flying and flaring nicelly as the student does the run.
Sorry. I´ve put the comment before reading... Jerry!. That´s nice.
Yes! His name is Jerry. We taught him pretty well, eh? ;-)

Eu bem que gostaria de aprender mas aqui onde moro não há nada parecido, voar como um passarinho é meu sonho, tenho cinquenta e nove anos e ainda pretendo realizar esse sonho, nem que seja o último.
This vid wowed me. Well done dude.
Where Is this tutoring center? And I wonder if I can join?
Which is thia place ???
the bird is like..MOMMA :D
Hahahahahahahahahaaahaahahahahahahahaaha
What about the bird that flyes beside the student in every running?
Matías Paea fledgling student 😆
I want to learn
There are always small birds flying near by LOL.
How can I get one for myself?
Candace Cassidy a hang glider? Or a teeny bird that follows you around? Lol
l like to learn how too !!😃
Sorry, can someone explaine me why there's a bird following the student from 3:50?
Log-x how do you think birds learn to fly? We’re all students at some point!
💎
Location please?
wow
I want to do this! i should do a patreon.
มันเจ๋งมาก
Hey Ryan, how’s your Dad doing we used to fly years ago
Can somebody tell me where is this school in u,s,a ? Please !!
Jose Reynoso it is Fly High Hang Gliding, in Ellenville NY. www.flyhighhg.com. However the owner (and myself, who made this video) have since retired from instruction. Check out Lookout Mountain Hang Gliding for a great destination/school that teaches very similar to this. Thanks for watching!
thats the way ti do it i had to teach my self in 1980
where is this plays
What's up with the bird?
Can I buy this
Buy what? The video? A hang glider? Training?
How much does the sport cost? Can anyone give a rough estimate? Lesson, equipment, site fee(if any), etc.
About 5000 euros in Russia (~2000 for the glider, ~2000 for the harness and emergency chute and some extra money for smaller goodies like helmet, bags, radio, etc.). Other expenses are negligible, unless you pick some expensive service like towing with an aircraft.
Used (but airworthy) beginner glider + harness/chute: ~$3500 Lessons (absolutely necessary) - ~$2000 - 4000
.
Nice n how much per lesson
How can we learn hang hlanding in pakistan ?????
Why don’t people land on the wheels?
Berapa harga benda ni bro. ..

I want to fly too
Ellenville NY?
Yessir
@@RyanVoight I've always thought about heading over there and getting some hang gliding or paragliding lessons. We've been climbing in the Gunks for decades and have property below the Yellow Wall in the Trapps. Maybe we'll pop over the hill one of these days. Thanks.
@@bonefishboards I've kinda retired from teaching, but there is still a school in Ellenville. There's also a school in Middletown at Randal Airport where you could do a tandem flight and really get an idea what hang gliding is like. Careful because it's engrossing ;-)
The flying in Ellenville is best when the wind is from the NW 5-10 mph so that's when you're most likely to see people out there (year round!). At the end of the day we land in the field on Hang Glider Rd in Ellenville if you want to check it out. Friday (day after Thanksgiving) looks like it might be good and I'm hoping to fly... happy to answer questions or anything helpful...
In 00:40 one bird is stuck in the gilder
looks exhausting :D
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏻
