    Location of our School:

    FlyBC Paragliding is located in Harrison Mills, BC.

    Eagle Ranch Satellite Map

    It takes 1 hour to reach our location from the Port Mann Bridge by following Hwy 1 to Agassiz, or by taking Hwy 7 (Lougheed Hwy) east from Mission.



    We start our new pilot training primarily at our private flight park "Eagle Ranch", a 25 acre paragliding field in Harrison Mills.

    As pilots progress we take them to many of the sites in the local area which are less than 30 minutes drive from Eagle Ranch. Some of these sites are located at Bridal Falls (east of Chilliwack), Sumas Mountain (east of Abbotsford), Blanchard (Bellingham WA), Black Mtn. (Sumas WA).

    We also take road trips regularly to Pemberton, Kamloops, Vernon as conditions and skill levels dictate for the new pilots.

    Before a pilots is "signed off", we insist on supervising them at five (5) different sites minimum (7 typically), to ensure they are ready to fly on their own supervision.
