Greg Hamerton talks about pilot progression, and the ways a beginner can get help to improve fast.

In this interview with Cross Country magazine we discuss what every pilot should do just after finishing basic training. Is there something missing in our training system after club pilot level? What are the most important skills while progressing in paragliding? And where to get information and ideas?
