FlightDeck: the app that logs your flights for you
No paper logbook, no form to fill in after a long day. Miki built FlightDeck for his own students: it notices your takeoff and landing, writes the flight into your flight book and sends it to Miki. You always see where you stand, and so does he.
Works without reception at the takeoff · English, German, Italian, French · after your licence it stays your personal logbook
FlightDeck comes with the Intensive Licence Course →

🚀 How Joining Works
Three steps. The first two cost you nothing, and you talk to Miki himself, not an office.
Join the free early list on the course page, or write on WhatsApp. No commitment, and you talk to Miki himself, not an office.
When the course fits your calendar, we book a 20-minute call in the office hours: how the training works, your questions, and whether the chemistry is right. You don't pay a franc for the course before this call. A Trial Day needs no call: you can book it directly.
Book the Intensive Course, 27 May to 15 August 2027; a deposit holds your place. Your own set is fitted with us in spring, so on your first high flight you fly a wing your hands already know.

What Our Students & Guests Say
Rated 4.9 ⭐ on Google (52 reviews)
"He prepares his students to handle solo flights with total confidence, teaching well beyond what's required just to pass the exam. Class sizes are small compared to other schools, meaning you get to do as many flights as you want without endlessly waiting at the takeoff. Top teacher and a top experience!"
"It was the best decision to do my paragliding course with Miki. Teaching in small groups: we often flew with just the two of us."
"What stood out most was the emphasis on the bigger picture of paragliding and flight planning: not just flying the wing, but understanding conditions, terrain, traffic, and decision-making as a complete pilot."
"Miki trained me step by step to take responsibility for my own flying, whether judging the weather, assessing the safety aspects, practising the exam maneuvers or developing the right mindset."
"Miki is an excellent teacher: empathetic, down-to-earth, professional and also very friendly."
"The owner and instructor, Miki, has deep knowledge of both theory and practice and explains everything in a clear and structured way."
The Team
One instructor teaches you, two coaches take you further, and a launch crew keeps every take-off clean. You always know exactly who is responsible for you in the air.
Your Instructor
The one who records every step of your training
Miki Mohos
Chief Instructor & Tandem Pilot
I know every one of my students personally: how you handle a nervous launch, which maneuver you keep rushing, what clicked last week. That is the whole point of keeping the school small, because it lets me build a training plan around your actual level instead of a fixed syllabus.
My longest flights were done on EN-A wings, the same class you learn on: 113 km cross-country and a 105 km flat triangle. Not a trophy, simply the reason I can teach you to read the air on the wing you are actually flying. Add an engineer's habits from my PhD years, and you get weather briefings and gear advice that hold up.
Flying since 2017, teaching since 2020, SHV/BAZL-certified flight instructor since 2022, with years on the team of one of Switzerland's largest flight schools. Check my official SHV entry →
Coaches & Mentors
Where you go after the licence: cross-country, hike & fly, big days in the Alps
Marcel Schmid
XC & Hike-and-Fly Coach, Tandem Pilot
Three decades of Swiss air in his logbook, a name most pilots in Central Switzerland know, and quietly one of the best cross-country pilots in the country. Whether the plan is your first 20 km glide or a 200-300 km record line, Marcel has planned it and flown it: reading the day, choosing the line, knowing when to push on and when to turn back. He flies with us on cross-country and hike & fly days rather than in daily school operations, and that is exactly when you want him next to you.
Mihai Lazar
Hike-and-Fly Coach
Six years and counting across the Alps, on everything from cross-country legs to speedflying and ski-fly. Mihai specialises in hike & fly: choosing a peak that actually works, packing light without cutting safety, judging a wild launch with no windsock and no crowd. If your goal is to walk up and fly down under your own steam, he is the one who gets you there.

Launch Crew
The last check before you leave the ground, and the first hands when you land
Barni Kis
Launch Marshal
I lay out your wing, untangle your lines and watch the cycles until the window is right. On a busy launch that job is what keeps things calm and unhurried, and on your first mountain start it is the difference between rushing and flying.
David Rokonay
Launch Marshal, Tandem Pilot in Training
Harness buckles, speed system, reserve handle, wind: I run the same five-point check with you before every single start, until you catch yourself doing it without me. I am training toward my tandem licence with Miki, so I know how a clean launch is supposed to look and feel.
Noémi Szántó
Launch Marshal
Nervous students are my speciality. I talk you through the last minute before launch, slow your breathing down and keep the pressure off, because a rushed pilot makes a bad start. Years of working with horses taught me patience and timing, and both translate surprisingly well to a launch site.

Paragliding Equipment
For our students, the beginner set is part of the transparent course pricing. For licensed pilots we supply wings (EN-A to EN-C), harnesses, reserves and instruments from Supair, PHI, Nova and U-Turn, with personal consultation, correct sizing for your weight, and the same person at every check afterwards.
Sustainability
Trees planted, EV powered
We travel to the flying sites in an electric van and offset every flight's footprint: our partner plants verified mangroves in Kenya: up to four trees after each tandem flight and up to twenty-five after each student. Caring for the playground we fly over is part of the job.
Verified impact, not green-washing
Our tree planting is verified by Ecodrive-Veritree, a reputable US-based tech company, so the impact is transparent and real. The card above opens our live project page on our partner's website.
