Fiano Romano In the air

Powered paraglider flight over the Tiber valley at Fiano Romano

Fiano Romano

A powered paraglider does not need a hill. The wing goes up off flat ground at the Fiano Romano field, with the motor pushing behind you, and the Tiber valley opens out below.

How the day goes

  1. Meet at the field north of Rome, harness fitted, briefing before start-up.
  2. The motor winds up behind you and the ground lets go, with no slope to run down.
  3. Level over the hills and the wide farmland of the Tiber valley, the pilot flying.

There is an engine running behind your head the whole way, so this is the loud kind of flying; the same school's free-flight tandems go off a ridge in silence.
