Top Gun Flight School

At iParaglide Top Gun Flight School, we take pride in having taught over 1900 paragliding students in our 26 years of operation.

We are the the longest running school based in Metro Vancouver. Due to our central location, we are the only school that flies all of the relevant kiting parks, training hills and mountains within a 3 hour radius of Vancouver.  This empowers pilots to get to know the key training and flying spots early, optimizes and accelerates learning, and allows them to grow into great future pilots.  

We have the reputation of being an industry leader with an emphasis on engineered safety systems, quality instruction, the finest equipment and a positive learning environment for fun and empowering flying.

We offer the highest level of accreditation, with Senior HPAC and Advanced USHPA paragliding instructors, who coach from first flight to expert paraglider pilots and teach and qualify new paragliding instructors.

iParaglide Right Site Weather Sep.25/10 

DateSaturday, September 25, 2010 at 11:49

Paragliding Weather Synopsis: low to NW with high to SE meshing and causing strong South winds aloft. Although today will enjoy a mix of sun and cloud in Vancouver, Chilliwack & Bellingham areas, paragliding is not recommended due to potential for sudden and strong increase in south to southwest wind in mountains. Pemberton valley with 30% POP and potential for Whistler Express to blow out today: paragliding also not recommended.
