What is a tandem paragliding flight with an instructor?
A paraglider is an ultra light aircraft, flying without an engine, only by the means of mother nature. We are soaring in laminar winds and rising warm air streams – the so called thermals. The crew consists of two people – a pilot and a passenger. We land softly on our feet.
During the flight we see the mountains and valleys from a bird’s perspective. It is very likely that we will be flying alongside some of the local residents of the mountains – the eagles. The birds consider paragliders as friendly neighbors in the thermals and a free flight together does’t have to stay a dream. It can become reality!
All our equipment is certified and specially designed to fly with passengers. The pilot and the passenger are comfortably sitting in special harnesses that are all equipped with airbags and protectors. We always fly with rescue parachutes. All our passengers will be wearing helmets, flight suits and knee pads. We fly only in good weather conditions.
A Tandem Paraglider Taking Off
This is what i paragliding take off can look like. We take off from a hillside. It is usually enough to just take two or three steps down the slope and we are in the air! We take off gradualy and smoothly. Paragliders are not parachutes and we do not jump of cliffs.
Although paragliding is easy, there are some restrictions:
- Maximum weight – 100 kg.
- Minimum age – 18 years. Minors fly only with parent’s or guardian’s written permission.
- Health status – we do not fly with people who suffer from epilepsy or other conditions that might require immediate care.
- Intoxication – we do not fly with persons under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
- Please, do evaluate your condition in advance.
