The wedding tandem flight
We love and enjoy every kind of fun and therefore we would be very happy to make your wishes come true. The wedding in the air, ceremony on the ground, celebration in the air, celebration anywhere or easy Sunday morning of the wedding guests after Saturday party – whatever pops in your mind.
That’s for sure. Call us and share with us your idea and let’s talk about possibilities.
Wedding off the hook
We are able to fly with ten passengers in the same time. What does that mean? That we are actually able to fly up to 80 guests through the day.
We are taking off on our private starting sites which guaratee us the right of way for your own enjoyment. Give to the newlyweds unusual gift for life…
We will prepare you for safe start
We will put you firmly into the harness and explain to you how to help us with taking off. We will prepare our glider and the rest of the gear. Also we will tell you how to use the sport full HD camera and what are the best way to shoot the whole flight. Then later, we will check you once more, attach you to us and the glider and then we will just wait for the right breeze.
Short run, last feeling of the ground and we fly! Nothing that complicated.
Landing? Easier than you would thought…
There is always an official landing place underneath every take off. In the end of the flight, we will approach the landing sector and focus on the last phase of the landing – touching the ground again. In order to be sure that you will not hurt your ankles during the landing, we will ask you to stretch your legs and put them up to utilise the protector which is under your seat. The glider will fall behind us shortly and you can enjoy the old-new feeling of solid earth underneath your feet.
The tin can…
full of joy and adrenaline
Instant adrenalin in a tin cover – that is a funny possibility to surprise your friends and relatives. The gift package of the thermal flight contains closed tin can with a T-shirt in it and the gift voucher and further instruction.
We will be happy to help you with choosing the right type of flight for you. Both personally in El Speedo office or by phone.
The romantic wedding
In the church on Prašivá hill
There are only few places like this in Czech Republic. You can enjoy the peace and calm in pure nature.
The church of Saint Anthony was found by George, the duke of Oppersdorf in 1640. Not it’s very popular pilgrim stop. Regular Sunday prayers with intimate atmosphere, pure nature of beautiful forest and the hut on Prašivá with refreshment, quality cuisine and accommodation make incredibly interesting and easy-going spot which has its soul.
Do you want to have your wedding in different than usual style? Then feel free to arrive in historic cars, have the ceremony right in the church, use the accommodation in the hut and come to fly with us! On Prašivá or on Javorový mountain or on Lysá hora – we enjoy flying with you.
Detail info of thermal flight
Duration of flight:
It depends mainly on the current weather conditions but basically 20 minutes or longer. The duration and altitude of flight depend on the difference of temperatures in various altitudes and on sun activity. That is why we invite you to do this type of flight from late March to the end of August – this period is the best for thermalling when 20 minutes is no problem and we usually reach altitude over 2000 metres.
When it comes to the duration of the whole trip for this flight, be advised that it takes usually from 60 to 90 minutes.
Suitable flight conditions
We carry out the thermal flights with the mild and mid strong wind up to 8 metres per second which of course depends mainly on specific starting site. Depending on your schedule and current weather conditions we choose those flying terrains that are appropriate to the current wind directions.
We usually go to these sites for thermal flights in Beskydy:
- Javorový,
- Prašivá,
- Ondřejník-Skalka,
- Javorník,
- Lysá hora.
For flying in Jeseniky, we use these sites:
- Dolní Morava
- Kamenec
Unfortunately, we do not go a lot for flying to Jeseniky due to lack of good flying days. We need to be ready for moving this kind of flight to Beskydy. We will keep you informed if the conditions would be about to set us back in Jeseniky.
For thermal flights in Krkonoše, we go to:
- Černá hora,
- Kozákov,
- Medvědín.
Demands for the passenger
- the passenger is suitable for both children and adults; all that matters is you weight which should be from 5 to 115 kg
- for the flight itself, we recommend you to wear high trekking shoe with fix ankle, long trousers and windproof jacket. It is nice to have sunglasses when the sun is shining happily.
The flight:
Before the flight itself, there is a short preparation including the instructions for landing. We will adjust the harness to your size and try a little bit of running with the harness. If interested, the tandem pilot will explain you principles of paragliding. Then you will be seated and got a helmet.
After a short running down the hill, you will be flying. You will be seated in front of the pilot, literally in the first row. The flight itself takes roughly from 6 to 12 minutes which depends mainly on current flying condition.
You may shoot your own pictures if you take your camera for flying. However we recommend this option for the thermal flight. It is so much better just to enjoy the view. We offer you to take the pictures or make a video ourselves.
Audience
Of course, you may invite your closest to watch you flying directly on start or they may watch the landing.
The number of passengers:
The tandem glider is just for two persons, ie one pilot and one passenger. However, if interested, let us know in advance that you would like to start within a group and we will gather our crew to fly with you all!
How to do it?
Order your flight by our online form or by phone (+ 420 777 311 661) or personally in our office. You will be told the specific date, place and hour of your flight by your tandem pilot who will contact you in advance. Do not forget to take your voucher with you.
Detail info of the wedding flight
Duration of flight:
From 6 to 12 minutes on average which depends mainly on elevation of the take off and current weather conditions.
The duration of flight depends on the elevation which is the difference between altitude of starting and landing spot, then the wind and thermals. Average flight with 500 metres elevation takes around 10 minutes. If there would be a possibility for thermalling and you would love to spend more time flying, just tell the pilot and let us enjoy the Thermal Flight.
