Para-Motoring Mile High Flight (Canterbury)

You will be flying with an instructor during your para-motoring experience. This provides the easiest and safest way to experience the thrill of para-motoring, as you gain heights of 1 mile or more. Unlike learning to fly solo, a trial instructional tandem flight requires only a 15 minute briefing before you are in the air for the first time! While we are flying, we will explain how the wings and brake handles work to control it. The flight will last between 20 and 60 minutes depending on weather conditions You will not fly less than 20 minutes in the air. If the lift is sufficient to maintain height for a minimum 20 minute flight then we will fly the same tandem wing without the motor. In the case of light winds, we can fly with a paramotor. This helps us to achieve heights and durations of flight time that were previously impossible to achieve. Once the desired height is achieved, we simply turn the engine off and paraglide quietly in the updraughts. The motor sits on the instructors back, while you are seated in front, in a very comfortable padded harness. This allows a full-unobstructed view of the flight, and access to all flight controls. You can even fly the aircraft yourself if you like!
