COST OF TANDEM R 500-00

 

Unfortunately  flights can not be guaranteed on arrival.

Passenger and pilot safety is priority so the weather conditions will first be assessed in order to determine whether it’s safe to fly.

Sometimes conditions don’t allow for safe flying and we have to sit it out and wait for Mother Nature to become friendly towards us.

In paragliding circles it’s called; “Para-waiting”!, but feel secure in knowing that our  tandem flights are preformed by qualified tandem pilots/instructors that take you on these instruction flights.

Midday flights, when the thermals are very strong and violent, are not for the fainthearted and we prefer not to fly in such conditions for safety reasons.

For the very brave, the reward is longer airtime and more height gain but there is risk involved.

 

Smooth, safer flights are mostly done during early mornings up to around 10:30 or after three o’clock in the afternoons.

 

It is impossible to fly in the rain and winds stronger than 15kp\h, so it’s better to give us a call at around eight in the morning to enquire about the day’s flight plans and weather predictions.

If the weather is fine and we inform you that we will be at the field it is best is to be there.  As soon as an assessment is made on the conditions a flight will be possible.

 

Payments are usually done on completion of a flight, but flights may be booked in advance and paid via EFT.

 

Flights are done by winching and normally a second attempt will be done in case of tow line breaks or when a flight was aborted because of any reason whatsoever.

 

Please take note that launching (take-offs) and landings requires some  physical input from the passenger therefore no alcohol consumption before flights is allowed and no person under the influence of alcohol will be flown.

 

Unfortunately persons with a heart condition, obesity, epilepsy or moving disability might also be problematic. It is preferable to use boots with ankle support when coming to fly.
