PARAGLIDING TANDEM FLIGHT

Have you ever wanted to know what it’s like to fly like an eagle? Then why not take a tandem flight, which we offer for US$ 180.00. The tandem flight consists of a short instructional briefing followed by a 20 minute flight (weather permitting). Tandem flights are offered in the following locations:

• Interlaken, Switzerland

• Jakarta (Puncak), Indonesia

• Dubai (Dibba), U.A.E. (Seasonal only)

The tandem Paraglider is flown by one of our fully qualified tandem pilots. During the flight the pilot will explain you what he is doing, and if conditions permit, will allow you some hands-on control of the glider.

A tandem flight is an exciting, one-off experience, however if having experienced the thrill of free flight you wish to take it further, we are able to offer you a full training.

PARAGLIDING COURSES

How long it will take? The training time before a student can fly unsupervised will depend on the individuals aptitude and weather conditions. First you have to achieve Student Pilot (PS) rating, which takes on average 4 days.

Continuing under supervision, the next step is to gain Beginner Pilot Rating, this takes a further 2 - 3 days tuition.

Once you have Beginner Pilot Rating you can fly unsupervised. Remember, this is a general guide only, as a license has to be earned, by accomplishing set tasks, and passing an exam.
