FAQ

Depends upon weather conditions, we aim to fly 15 mins per flight – sometimes its more – sometimes its less ! I find that this is an ideal duration , particularly for a first flight and most passengers are so bombarded by sensations that time becomes irrelevant ! The overall activity for the flight takes around one hour ; from meeting point, by car to the takeoff, prepare equipment and passenger, briefing, flying, packing up and the farewell.

Surprisingly, even people who feel the need to hold on tightly in the gondola feel comfortable once in the air ! Like looking out if the window of an aeroplane, one feels quite removed from the void below.

Passengers usually feel quite apprehensive at the launch area and then surprised at just how easy it was to launch once airborne. The launch is a gentle run down a slight slope – not at all a plunge off a cliff ! During flight we really feel supported by the wing and comfortably seated in the harness . The pilot and passenger can converse easily during the flight allowing the pilot to reassure and keep informed, nervous passengers.

It is possible to fly with passengers over 16 years old. For passengers over 60 years of age, it will only be possible to take the flight if the passenger has been physically prepared through good flight conditions.

85kg is our limit for males , 75 kg for females. You must be particularly athletic once above 80 kg (70 kg female), though it also depends a little on age & how the weight is distributed ! We can sometimes make special arrangements for very youthful athletic passengers slightly above our limits. Please consult us. Like any aircraft we are affected by weight. The heavier we are, the faster we have to run at take off & landing. As we run down a gentle slope at take off, we need to be able to run in a balanced & effective manner for around 20 metres, consequently we need to be reasonably athletic and even more so if we are heavier.

Although it is a possibility, we have never heard of anyone losing them during our flights.

Please reserve your flight at least one week in advance and avoid leaving the flight to the last day of your holiday as adverse weather would mean that we could not postpone. By booking reasonably in advance, we can select the most appropriate flight time for you, and also invite others Pilots to fly with us.

Sim, você pode usar sua própria GoPro ou outro dispositivo para capturar momentos incríveis. Recomendamos um braço telescópico curto ou uma alça de pulso simples para maior segurança e flexibilidade. Evite suportes de peito, pois interferem no arnês, e montagens no capacete, que podem ser perigosas. Câmeras DSLR grandes são menos práticas do que modelos compactos. Não nos responsabilizamos por danos ao seu equipamento pessoal. Por segurança, não permitimos "selfie sticks" com celulares, pois há risco de queda durante o voo.

For your convenience, we provide a transparent protective pouch so you can securely carry your personal mobile device during the flight. Please be aware that we cannot assume responsibility for any loss, damage, or malfunction of the device.
