Flying Club of the Financial University "FlyFin"

The club aims at training paragliding. It is not just a sport, it is an opportunity for you to draw inspiration and strength for your personal accomplishments.

During theoretical classes, you will learn about the basics of aerodynamics, and the construction of paragliders. You will also learn a lot about the structure of the Earth’s atmosphere, the air currents and their features used by pilots. And under the guidance of experienced instructors, you will learn to hover for hours in the upwelling currents. You can touch the sky with your hand, you can see the earth from a bird’s-eye view. You will learn, along with eagles, to gain height and to climb to the clouds without an engine.

Since the establishment of the club, at least 15 practical exercises have already taken place. And many of those who joined our club from the very beginning, are already flying on their own!
