Learn to Fly
Ken Hill is one of the most experienced Hang Glider instructors in Australia. A tandem flight is a wonderful way to experience the joy of hang gliding with no experience necessary. At South East Qld Hang Gliding we fly in the amazing Gold Coast Hinterland, from Beechmont or Tamborine Mountain. The site choice is dependent on weather and wind direction, with Beechmont being predominant through summer and Tamborine Mountain through winter.
For your safety flights can never be guaranteed on a particular day, as hang gliding is a sport that relies on nature and we must also bend to her wishes.

Course Options
You have a choice to do a 2 day introductory course or sign up for a full 9 day learn to fly course, which upon completion you will be eligible to receive your Novice Hang Glider pilots licence from the HGFA.
Getting Started
After some theory and safety orientation you will start your course with some ground handling skills. This takes place at our training hill and will lead to you taking your first bunny hop steps into the air.
Progression
As you progress from your first leaps you will become more confident and move further up the training hill, learning flight controls and safe launching and landing. When you have mastered this it will be time to move onto your first high glide, launching from Tamborine Mountain.
First High Glide
You’ve now completed your theory and are competent on the training and are ready to take flight. Under radio instruction and with supervision you will take your first flight from a real mountain and from there the sky is the limit.
