How to Start Your Lesson Program: For those who want to try a lesson before deciding to become a pilot, we offer the Single Lesson for $160. If you have decided to become a pilot, but you want some experience before choosing your personal equipment, we offer the 5 lesson New Pilot Package for $700. We provide glider and flying gear. Additional lessons can be purchased at the package discount of $140 per day.

Your first goal is the USHGA Beginner Rating.

To help you achieve this we offer additional discounts if you convert your package to the Equipment Purchase Plan . After purchasing an equipment package from Tahoe Tandem Hang Gliding, you can buy lessons for $100 per day. If you have purchased lessons, but have not taken them, you can convert them to Equipment Purchase Plan lessons. The price difference will be applied to your equipment purchase.

For example, if you have three unused $140 lessons, you will save $120 when you buy equipment. We encourage you to buy personal equipment as soon as you are serious about becoming a pilot. Beyond the obvious lesson discount, you also benefit from training on your own glider. Training is consistent when you fly the same glider each day. You can potentially get more flights during your lesson, with no waiting for a shared shop glider.

When you are ready to practice on your own after reaching the Beginner Rating, you will be thoroughly familiar with your own wing. And there is nothing like an investment in equipment to really solidify that commitment to practice that will make you a full fledged pilot sooner. We have a variety of new and used gliders to fit a variety of desires, skills, and budgets.

Equipment Purchase Plan: As an advancing pilot, you will soon be ready to fly on your own, and you will want to fly at every opportunity. You will need your own glider and harness. When you purchase an equipment package from Tahoe Tandem Hang Gliding, you receive this special discount rate for all future lessons. Use your personal flying gear to enjoy the optimum advanced lesson experience.
